Don’t Touch That, Oscar!
Can Oscar keep his eight excitable arms to himself?
It’s the last day of school, and they’re having a party! But Oscar and his friends have to wait for the party to start. Against all odds, Oscar discovers that his biggest challenge is his greatest gift in this heartwarming story of friendship and acceptance.
Don’t Touch That, Oscar! is perfect for excitable little creatures ages 2-7.
I love Oscar’s exuberant spirit; it resonates with many of us who struggle to do what is right when temptation looms. The simple yet vibrant illustrations add depth to the mounting tension as potential disaster tests Oscar’s limits.
As the parent of a kindergartner who has trouble sitting still and following rules, this book felt very timely for us to read together, and he enjoyed the story as well. I asked how many stars we should give it, and my son said, “Infinity!”
It is a cute story, with wonderful characters, and great artwork. The author managed to fit into her fast paced tale the importance of diversity, friendship, working together, resisting temptation, and finding ones own talents to save the day.
