5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Cat book by a wonderful writer, Feb 9 2002
By Snowygirl "Snowbaby" (Rocky Mountain Wilderness with wild aninals in our back yard) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscar Cat About Town (Hardcover)
I think I have not had a more pleasant reading experience than sitting down next to a burning fire place, listening to my favorite antique clock ticking.. the patter of rain on the window panes and reading James Herriott. It is a memory of that afternoon that all these years later I have never forgotten. James Herriott is the most pleasant, relaxing, refreshing writer. Forget all the worries and cares and escape for a few minutes into a quiet world where the animals speak their own language.. A wonderful book, a wonderful writer. Thank You James Herriott for the memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oscar, Cat-About-Town, Dec 14 2000
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think that anyone who reads this will feel more comfortable in nowing that many people may love them and that it is okay to have more than one "family." Many love you just the same and they can care for you in their own special way. I think Oscar is unique and even though this is just a book I respect the characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cat lovers, take note!, Sep 21 2000
By Laurie (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Warm, homey illustrations that almost seem to glow are paired nicely with the sweet storyline. As always, James Herriott knows his animals, and can capture their essence on paper. I have known cats like Oscar, who is most definitely a "people" cat--he loves to be in the thick of things!--and reading Oscar's story was like a touch of nostalgia. If your little one loves animals, do get them this book. I have a hunch they'll like it.
