A brilliantly funny new series from Dirty Bertie author, Alan MacDonald, featuring a pig on a bike, a Poopomatic, and a talking dog! Meet Oscar. He’s no ordinary dog . . . Sam has wanted a dog for AGES, so when Oscar turns up on this doorstep he can’t believe his luck. And when he finds out that Oscar's secret he can’t believe his ears! Oscar thinks humans are silly and rather badly trained – but when the freedom of the town’s dogs is under threat, Oscar’s about to discover that a dog’s best friend is his boy. Alan MacDonald is the author of many books for children, including the bestselling Dirty Bertie series, which he worked on with award-winning illustrator David Roberts. His series Troll Trouble (Bloomsbury) has been optioned for film by Twentieth Century Fox, and Alan has also published picture book The Prince of Pants (Scholastic) with the illustrator Sarah McIntyre. When not busy with books, Alan writes for children's TV series such as Horrid Henry, The Tweenies, Boo! and Fimbles. Sarah Horne has illustrated many hilarious children's books, including Llama United by Scott Allen (Pan Macmillan) the Fizzlebert Stump series by A.F. Harrold (Bloomsbury), the Guinea Pigs Online series by Amanda Swift and Jennifer Grey (Quercus) and Michael Rosen’s Laugh Out Loud Joke Book (Scholastic). Sarah grew up in Derbyshire and now lives in London.

This story was a very funny story. When a dog turns up at boys front step, he is surprised to find out that Oscar the dog can speak with humans. I would recommend it to animal lovers.

I loved Ask Oskar because the Queen... well more like HER MAJESTY came and brought her Corgis with her BUT to her surprise Mr Trusscot had made that exact place they're in now a dog free zone when she WAS coming!

I liked it because the dog arrived on a bus which I thought was very silly and he had to get shut up in a cupboard because otherwise their parents would find out. I would recommend it to someone who has a pet dog.

Marshal Chesney Buffalo 13.08.2022
I like it but I think it needs alit more detail and I think that Sam should act more surprised to the fact that there’s a dog on his doorstep because I would be so shocked that there’s a dog on my doorstep.

It was a great book I am excited to read the other ones in this series.

A boy called Sam who found a dog at the door. The boy named the dog Oscar. I recommend this book to other children.

I thought it was a really good book. It’s a fiction book about a talking dog. My favourite bit was when all the army of dogs were marching through town, it was really funny. Oscar was my favourite character.
Prince Slide Wellington 28.07.2022
Great book. It was funny and I liked the fact that only Sam knew that Oscar could talk. I would recommend it to people who like dogs or comedy stories.
Professor Angel Desperado 25.07.2022
So Oscar is being kicked out of the house so Sam has to persuade them not to

A nice book about a depressed boy and a talking dog become friends to stop a idiotic Town Chief or something. 4/5.
