Battersea Dogs & Cats Home: Oscar's Story - Softcover

Natasha is a very kind but serious little girl. She doesn't really like going too high on the swings, or walking along walls like the rest of her friends. Her older brother on the other hand is a total daredevil - and her three-year-old sister is completely fearless, too. Sometimes Natasha feels like she spends all her time trying to make sure they don't hurt themselves (even though Mum tells her she should relax a bit more!).

When adorable ginger kitten Oscar arrives from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, he's already used a few of his nine lives - and seems intent on using up the rest too! He's had a tough start in life - someone found him sleeping rough outside a fish and chip shop when he was only a few days old - but that hasn't affected his naughty nature. Oscar's always getting himself into scrapes: chasing the neighbour's dog (and getting chased up a tree in return!), falling into the bath and even following Natasha all the way to school one day... Natasha loves her daredevil kitten, but she worries about him all the time. Will his latest daring adventure (and his safe return) prove to her that maybe being a bit naughty can be good for you?

Poor Natasha is a worrier. Even going on the swings makes her anxious. When she gets invited to her best friend’s birthday party at an adventure park, she feels sick with nerves. If only she could be more brave and less of a scaredy-cat!

However, when her family decides to adopt Oscar the tiny ginger kitten from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, things start to look up. Oscar is very cheeky, and gets into all sorts of adventures. Can he help Natasha overcome her fears?
