Review

"Terri Sabol tackles serious subjects in a way that is still fun for children. As children follow along on the colorful pages, they learn new things. I read the story to my children, and I was surprised when my older son asked about the use of a litter box. Reading this informative book helped educate him and enlightened my other children and me about the in-depth care involved in fostering newborn kittens.

Sabol includes "kitten care" which outlines the animals' feeding routine, and she offers a list of reasons at the end of the story so readers can determine if fostering animals is right for them. Caregivers can feel confident about reading Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens to their children if they're interested in animals or animal care, or are considering adopting or fostering an animal."

--Reviewed by Courtnee Turner Hoyle for Readers' Favorite

The eighth book in the Oscar and Emmy series, this children's picture book follows the lives of two rescued cats and the lovely family they live with. Even though they may not keep the kittens, the twins continue to care for and groom them until they are ready for adoption. This book teaches selflessness and caring for animals, specifically providing a home and environment where they will be loved and cared for.

Terri Sabol, a proud cat owner, would like to inspire readers and anyone willing to help animals in need, whether through fostering or adoption. Irrespective of the animal's age, Sabol encourages readers to contribute to improving the lives of homeless animals in their surroundings. Roskana Barwinski's illustrations are clear, bright, and appealing. This picture book is short and educative, making it an ideal read for every child.

From the Author

Dear Reader,

I have several friends who have fostered animals. A few of them were 'foster fails', meaning they fell so in love with the dog or cat they were fostering, they ended up adopting them. Another of my friends has fostered more than 800 kittens over the last 16 years!

The kitten who inspired this story was my friend's bottle-fed foster kitten. I got to feed the kitten once using a syringe! It was so cute.

There are many great organizations who run foster programs. A few of my favorites are Maddie's Fund, MeoowzResQ, and The Little Lion Foundation. Hannah Shaw (The Kitten Lady) is also a great follow for the work she does for fostering kittens.

In this book, I focus on fostering newborn kittens. There is also a great need for fostering more senior animals. If you have the ability and space, some animals need medical fostering.
Sometimes, rescues and shelters are looking for short-term fosters. An example would be to care for the animals for a few days until the adopter can pick them up or a transport vehicle is able to take them to another area.

There are many types of fostering available. If fostering animals isn't for you, you can still get involved by donating funds or supplies to your local shelter or rescue group.

I hope this story inspires you to get out and help make a huge impact on an animal's life, however you are able. Please see my blog for more details on fostering animals.

Thank you,

Terri Sabol

Great children’s book

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

I read Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens with my 7 year old before bed, initially my 9 year old declined joining us. Shortly after overhearing the first couple pages, my animal loving son was excited to join in. This was a great story to teach fostering and it’s importance all while appealing to young children in a fun way. The kids and I really enjoyed taking turns reading this book and we will be reading more about Oscar and Emmy in the future for sure.

This adorable book does it all! It is wonderfully entertaining for children. It gives mothers the joy of knowing their children are learning how to share responsibility for helpless animals and it promotes a great need of homeless animals that fill overcrowded shelters. I have enjoyed every book in the Oscar and Emmy series and so appreciate the efforts of author, Terri Sabol, to educate our children about so many aspects of animal care and compassion.

Perhaps even though it’s a bit verbose at times, this story is cute. The shelter pet vibe is great, but I love stories about building confidence and friendships. Also great for any cat lover!

Wonderful book for kids to learn the value of fostering kittens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2024

Verified Purchase

I love the way this book is written for and about children and getting them involved in fostering.

It gives a great insight into the amount of work that foster carers do, especially for very young animals like the kittens in this story. Through the book we see the kittens progress as they grow and are prepared for adoption.

And inevitably Charlie asks if they can keep the kittens, so I love the explanation given that fostering allows the family to help many cats and kittens.

Another great book in the Oscar and Emmy series
