These Oscar and Emmy books are always so cute and informative about animals. This one specifically deals with fostering. Charlie and Abby learn so much through fostering three tiny kittens. These books always take real life pet and animal problems and bring them to an age appropriate level for children. Over crowding at animal shelters is a very real, very common thing. This touches on it gently and helps teach about what it’s like to take in kittens, but then to adopt them out so that you can take on more to help with the over population of cats.

I am writing this semi biased as I LOVE cats. This book was super cute and informative about fostering kittens for the target age. I would find this very appropriate to read with kids when considering fostering cats/kittens. I was able to connect with this in my own experience as someone who fostered a litter of kittens. I enjoyed the voice of this book and thought they handled the part where they had to let the kittens go very well. The children handled it better than I did!

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is the eighth book in the Oscar and Emmy series by Terri Sabol. It is a uplifting children’s story that is woven around some really cute illustrations.
Charlie and Abby (twins) have been volunteering at an animal shelter and discuss the possibility of fostering animals with their mother. The family discusses the responsibilities that fostering would bring, and then the opportunity to foster (3) 4 day-old kittens comes along and they embrace the chance to help. We follow along with the twins, as well as Oscar and Emmy (the family cats) as they help care for the kittens. Fostering the kittens from 4 days old to 12/13 weeks when they are put up for adoption. Along the way, we also learn about kitten care, reasons you should foster, facts about fostering/volunteering, and much more. I thought it was a really heartwarming story, especially when they find the perfect fur-ever families for the kittens at the end. So sweet.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Terri Sabol!

Charlie and Abby learn that there is a need for families to foster kittens at their local shelter. They ask their mom for help, and along with Oscar and Emmy, the family helps to get the kittens off to a great start. Charlie and Abby are responsible for feedings and teaching the kittens to use the litter box. Oscar and Emmy help support Peach, Pear, and Plum as they navigate the world at large.

This is a great book to read with youngsters who may be interested in having a kitten. It could help them realize the responsibilities that come with pet ownership, while also encouraging a fostering situation to begin with to make sure that the placement is a good fit for both parties. This book also briefly discusses spaying/neutering.

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is another wonderfully put together story in the series and one not to be missed just like the others.
Oscar and Emmy won’t leave anyone out and help to look after the precious cargo whilst the family learn what is required when a new pet or three come into the home in this next instalment of Oscar & Emmy Cat book series. Everything a pet could want, or need is explored.
This educational picture books guides you through every aspect of what type of pet is right for you and what is needed to care for the pet.
Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is a well thought out story and draws the reader in.
I have fostered cats and always taken in cats from rescue homes to ensure they are well loved within a forever home with me or another.
Children will delight in the colourful illustrations as well in the story itself.

What another fun chapter in the Oscar and Emmy series. This time, their mom is fostering kittens. Oscar and Emmy want to help her. She teaches them the rules of fostering. The story takes us from 3-4 days old to 11 weeks, after their spay & neuter surgery, when they are adopted. I really enjoy reading these stories because the other does such a nice job of explaining cat care in a way that children can understand. My grandson always loves to have these books read to him. The story is well-written and easy for kids to follow. The pictures are colorful and can hold attention.

I just love the Oscar and Emmy series! The way Sabol addresses everyday issues and concerns relating to animals and pets but does it such a way that is age-appropriate for children is simply fantastic. I love that her books are honest yet optimistic and hopeful. I appreciate that she writes from the children’s perspectives but still gives voice to the parents. The illustrations are fantastic. I cannot recommend these books and this series enough!

I absolutely adored “Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens” by Terri Sabol. This heartwarming story follows Oscar and Emmy, two loving cats who take on the role of nurturing three bottle-fed kittens from the local animal shelter. The author does a fantastic job of detailing the first three months of kitten development and showing how important it is for people, including children, to play a role in saving animal lives through fostering.

I loved how the family, with the help of Oscar and Emmy, prepare the foster kittens to be adopted by other families. The bond between the cats and the kittens is beautifully portrayed, and it’s heartwarming to see the love and care they provide for the little ones.

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is a wonderful children’s book with beautiful illustrations and has valuable teaching lesson to go along. Learning the value of fostering an animal is very important and as Abby and Charlie embrace wanting to help their local shelter foster kittens for the first time to help them be social and adoptable.

I love the lessons that this story teaches and how there may be a lot of work in fostering but it is also valuable to not only the kittens (or any animal), but also helps the shelters as well. Although this story is more for ages 5-10….I highly recommend this story even for the young at heart. This is a wonderful story.

Terri Sabol is an accomplished children’s book author, renowned for her heartwarming and entertaining stories featuring the real-life adventures of her two beloved rescue kittens, Oscar and Emmy. Born and raised in Texas, Terri developed a love of writing and storytelling at a young age, and always dreamed of one day becoming an author. Thinking that was out of reach, she focused on her other dream… teaching.

After graduating from college with a Masters degree in education, Terri worked as an early childhood teacher, and it was during this time that her passion for picture books truly blossomed. She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.

Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.

Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.

In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.

When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.

The lessons she writes about help people of all ages, from pet loss, feeling envious, to this book where it’s about never giving up 🥰. It is about trying and failing, then picking yourself up and trying again, Trying different ways until you find the best solution for you.
You know I just have to try that recipe at the end 🤣😍

What a wonderfully sweet book about trying and trying again! My two kiddos are 8 and 11 so they get to hear me talk about trying quite a bit. When we picked up this book to read together, I was very excited as not only does it help teach problem solving, experimenting, and failing at times, it’s about cooking which is a loved activity in our home. These illustrations are just gorgeous and really make the kids feel like part of the story. There is an awesome recipe in the back which my kids followed, and after a couple of tries they nailed it! The inclusion of the recipe was such a big bonus in my opinion because it gives them something to physically act on what they just read. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the little ones in your life so they can try, try again!

By: Terri Sabol

This is such a cute story. I love that this book has so much to teach its readers. The biggest being perseverance. I love that Ben continues to compete despite losing after several years to Sofia. I also loved that not only did Ben have to persevere but that he also had to try different things to make it work. This embodies what I am always teaching my students. This book is so cute and I love that it has a recipe for readers to try as well. I think that is an amazing connection that readers can do to take the book further! I can think of a few kiddos on my holiday list that will be getting this book.

What a delightful tale highlighting self-reliant problem-solving abilities and imparting knowledge about baking elements.
Kneading a Winning Idea is a book centered around crafting delectable biscuits. Despite Ben’s annual attempts to clinch victory in the local baking competition, the ideal recipe continues to elude him. However, inspiration from a furry companion leads him to concoct a winning bread that finally secures his triumph. Ben discovers the significance of persistence, regardless of the outcome. The story instills problem-solving skills, emphasizing that experiencing loss or failure is not inherently harmful.
Our feline friends are constant kneaders, making this story particularly endearing to us. I love that it also came with a fun recipe. It’s a wonderful addition to the narrative and a perfect opportunity for my son and me to connect in the kitchen after reading!
