My old pal, Oscar by Amy Hest, illustrated by Amy Bates.
Abrams Books for Young Readers 2016.
The first person narrator tries to tell a stray puppy that
they don’t need a dog – Oscar is all the dog they’ll ever need. But, Oscar
isn’t here – and the puppy needs a home, and a name, and reassurance during the
storm.
As the narrator comes to realise they may end up with a new
puppy, the illustrations change to warmer hues.
A quiet and gentle story of memories and new beginnings, as
the narrator tells the puppy all about Oscar.
