My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oscar and Emmy are about to set off on a new adventure, it is time to go to the vets for their yearly check up, but they do not want to go in the carriers and keep escaping!

When they get to the vet, they are signed in by the receptionist and then they go into the room with the actual vet, but now they don’t want to get out of the carriers!

However, the vet is really good and goes through all of their checks, but is it as scary as they thought and what will the vet be checking? This is a wonderful way to introduce children to the importance of vet visits and how to keep their cats healthy in an easily understandable way.

This is an ABC book, but not as you know it, the pictures are whimsical and full of details, while the words themselves are more advanced and eclectic, but still exciting to learn.

Both adults and children will gain from reading this book, and with the definitions being given at the back as well, it is a great all rounder.

~ AMAZON ~

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.

 

Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.

 

Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.

 

In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.

 

That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.

 

When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We always love reading Oscar and Emmy adventures; this one was no different. Going to grandmas is always a blast and for these little kitties it is even better.The story follows Oscar and Emmy as they experience a fun-filled trip to their Grandma’s house. Sabol’s writing is accessible and rhythmic, with a focus on the sights and activities that make a visit to Grandma’s special. The text is complemented by bright, colorful illustrations that bring the story to life and highlight the warm, familial atmosphere. The author also did a fantastic job at capturing the joy and excitement of a visit to a grandparent’s house through the eyes of two lovable pets. I totally can’t wait for more of their adventure.

Oscar any Emmy Visit the Vet is a children’s book about vet care for animals. They require regular checkups to stay healthy and require a few things at home to keep them healthy and from having to visit the vet as often as well. It details a lot of things in the last few pages that will help you know what to do. I thought this was easily understood, had great pictures, and was well thought out. I enjoyed it.

I was really excited to read this installment of Porter and Midge with my kids. Even though we don’t have any dogs, some of the most important people in our lives do, I knew the kids would love the creative, hands on aspect of this book.
I love a good children’s book that rhymes so I really enjoyed the flow of the writing. Overall, this was a great kids book!

Wonderful children’s book about all the different places that people and animals can live and call home. The illustrations are great and really show what those places are. The big take away from this book is that everyone has a safe place to go and call “HOME”. A place to feel safe and loved.

This was a cute addition to the Oscar and Emmy series of children’s books. In this one Abby, Charlie, and their family are going on a trip, and even though they want to take their kitties on the trip with them they know that the best place for them is at grandmas house. Grandma enjoys having the kitties, and they enjoy watching all of grandmas visitors. I think this was a fun way to look at what to do with your animals when going anywhere and may help to give comfort if the need arises to do so. Even through a little mishap everything turned out wonderful.

This series of books is so cute and so fun for families. If you have a child and a dog then this series is great for you! Or if you plan on getting a dog for your family/child. This series helps kids understand dogs more and the responsibilities that come with having and caring for them. You might learn too! In this book you learn about baking treats for your dog. It has so many wonderful recipes for you and your kiddos to test out. In the back it has some great talking points that are perfect for you to talk about with your young dog lover too. My girls can’t wait to try out some of the recipes for our three dogs. We are thinking of making the “Penny’s Peanut Butter and Honey Dog Biscuits” first, as all three of our dogs have no issues with the ingredients in them. I love that these books teach you so much about dogs while reading. Every child should read these if they have a dog or plan on getting a dog. I have even learned some things and I am in my 30s! My girls are excited to read more and of course super excited to get into the kitchen and start baking for the puppies! 🙂

I absolutely love how each and every one of these Porter and Midge books have a very learning and informative story to each and everyone of them. This story follows with learning about healthy snacks for your dog. This book really followed well with the illustrations and where colorful and engaging to my kids. After we read this the kids wanted to make healthy snacks for our dogs because this book also shared some snake recipes. This is a great book for kids to learn and engage them into doing activities.

I will say that this was a really well-done children’s story, the illustrations were done very well, and the story had a great flow with the pictures, that my children really enjoyed. However, I didn’t realize this book was religious, which I have no problem with, but my kids had a lot of extra questions about it. but it is about how we can be brave, strong and courageous in everything we do. It was easy for my children to follow and understand and they still enjoyed the book.

This was one of the most beautifully illustrated children’s ABC books that I’ve ever had the chance to read. I even, as a 34 year old woman, learned a word from this book, Hirsute, which meant hairy. I’d never heard that before. There was even a helpful glossary at the back of the book in case you run into a situation such as that. Well done!

This book is beautifully written and illustrated. The message behind it, that when we put on the armor of God, we can be brave, strong and courageous, is gently intertwined in a way that makes it’s point but also draws children in. Presented in a way that everyday children can relate to and understand, this book is one I would highly recommend to anyone reading to a child in their life!

What a wonderful book for boys!! You see all the “girl power” books out there about self esteem and being strong and overcoming, but, never have I have seen one for boys. This book is wonderfully illustrated and even references the Bible on many pages. I love how at the end there are even scriptures and more references to find in the Bible. An absolute joy to read this book.

Yet another tale about Oscar and Emmy. Two adorable felines that have found a loving home. This time the family is taking the kitties to the vet for a check up, This series is so educational and helpful for first time young pet owners. The amazing illustrations and the short story help children to focus on the topic at hand. I love the extra guides at the end of the story to help educate kids even more.

G is for Gossamer is the bougee ABC book. It is easily the fanciest letter learning book I’ve ever seen. I missed the part that the definitions were included (at the end) and found myself googling the word to learn what it meant. The cover gave me a Charlotte’s Web feel and I picked it for that alone. The illustrations within are breathtaking. Not a word I would normally use to describe a toddler picture book, but more than fitting. I did learn a few new words and my son learned probably close to half of these.

The Places We Call Home is another delightful children’s picture book tale by Kim Ann. Kim teaches through fun and rhyming what a home is. Whether it be a person, a house, a town, a city and even what animals call home such as the sea, the bush or wherever. Everyone and everything have that special place that is home to them and that is what Kim instils with this tale. This little tale has big meaning, and it is to teach us all that it doesn’t matter if you move all the time or not, home is where the heart is.
This fun and colourful picture book with beautiful illustrations by Nejla ShoJaie will help imaginative little minds learn about their home and heart.

This is a very interesting take on an abc book. It might not be right for every child but for that inquisitive and intelligent child who loves to learn and read this book is perfect. I loved how not only were the words associated with each letter colorfully illustrated but the definitions were added in the back of the book, which does help that little inquisitive and intelligent child learn and grow. I think this book might not be for every child but I definitely recommend that anyone with children because it will definitely help them to grow and learn.

It shows the different places that people can live, in the city, in the country, etc. Check it out your little one will enjoy it too.

This book is yet another fantastic adventure from Oscar and Emmy. This was a perfectly timed read for us as we were due to visit the doctors, which my son really doesn’t like. This book was a great way to show him how ever animals have to visit the doctors, and that it can be fun. He didn’t enjoy it still but he loved pointing out all of the things that were similar to the story we had just read – and all of the things that were different.
I loved how this author finds a way to connect with her intended audience every time. The books teach them something new without it feeling like they do. The stories are fun and entertaining, this one included. We are already looking forward to the next one we read.

The Oscar and Emmy series is one that has very quickly become a firm favourite in our household. The kids love learning more about their adventures with each new book and I think this one has to be the one they have enjoyed the most so far. One of our favourite things to do is visit Grandma (or Nanny as they call her) so they loved the idea of Oscar and Emmy doing the same.
The author has created such a fun and vibrant series that really entertains kids. It is teaching them some great things about pets and animals, but it is engaging at the same time. This is a brilliant series and I think one we all enjoy!

This was such a cute book that would be great for a quick story-time! The book was fun and simple to understand with clear illustrations that follow the storyline. There is a rhyming scheme that is sure to captivate children and allow parents and/or guardians the opportunity to further educate along the way. In general, the story itself is sure to capture the imagination of children. I would recommend getting the physical copy of the book because the illustrations are large and would be captivating in print.
