Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend: A story about pet loss and saying goodbye to a furry friend. Ages 5-11 and kindergarten through grade 5. by Terri Sabol
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend by Terri Sabol is a poignant story about dealing with the loss of a furry friend and making difficult choices. Covering topics such as rescue pets, stray animals, end of life decisions, euthanasia, crossing the rainbow bridge, saying goodbye, family, friendship, compassion, loss, and emotion- the story comes with really cute illustrations that help to build and guide the storyline.
It’s a sad story but with an important message for all ages. Having lost several furever friends and furever family members, the details in this book hit close to home. It’s never easy to say goodbye- and this book helps explain things in an educational but understanding way.
The story is told through Oscar and Emmy, who are cat siblings, their human family, and their stray cat friend Shadow, whose health has been on the decline of late. What happens when the family take Shadow to the Vet? Some decisions are extremely important, but not the easiest to make. This story helps to explain why.
