Talk, Oscar, Please!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Bowers. A boy imagines what fun he and his dog Oscar would have if Oscar could talk. The pup could go with the boy to school, help out on the soccer field, even be on a quiz show. Orloff's rhymes are tight and jaunty; most verses end with the refrain, "...talk, Oscar--please." Bowers's cheerful illustrations of boy and dog are humorous and warm-hearted.
