What Readers Are Saying

 

“When I heard about “Oscar the Mouse” I knew that I wanted to read this book to my granddaughters, ages six and nine. Just the first sight of the “happy” colors and cartoons was enough to get them interested. The story that unfolds came at the right time as my granddaughters interact daily with people who are different than them – don’t we all? The book shows how differences are what makes the world a wonderful place.”

— Dianne Price, President & CEO, Price Communications Group, Grandmother and advocate for all children

“I like “Oscar the Mouse” because it is just so funny! And talking animals are hilarious! The book has a bunch of funny things in it. It cracks me up, especially the Boogeyman! I can’t wait to read it again!”

— Charlie, age 8

“My daughter is 8 years old and we loved reading Oscar the Mouse together. Actually, she preferred to read it on her own while I sat by. It's a great message for children, and the book itself is very wonderfully written and illustrated. Would definitely recommend it for a gift, a classroom, and for your child's personal book collection”

— Gellyahnah Aakhen

 

“Oscar the Mouse is a wonderful little book that very concisely teaches how facing our fears can bring wonderful things into our lives; things we may never have imagined.  I loved it and so did my 5-year-old granddaughter.  Oscar is simply delightful.  5 stars!” — Susan Lucas

“This is a really cute story for kids, and I have to say for grownups too. Lovingly conveys good messages within the story. I don’t want to give away any of the story but will say I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.” — B.T.
