Book Description

Publication Date: Aug 2004
Jamie and Angus - an imaginative little boy and his treasured toy bull - spring to life in six delightful stories from Britain’s Children’s Laureate, Anne Fine - illustrated with warmth and charm by Penny Dale.

The moment Jamie sets eyes on Angus in the toy shop window, with his
silky white coat and forlorn gaze, he just knows they belong together. On Christmas morning the two are united at last, and the coveted Highland
Bull becomes Jamie’s constant companion - through an ill-fated run-in
with the washing machine, Uncle Edward’s nighttime jump-training sessions, a stay at the hospital for a stomachache, and three more thoroughly amusing adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely stuff 21 April 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Splendid, warm stories. If you and your kids like the work of Shirley Hughes then you will like these tales of Jamie and his stuffed Highland bull Angus. Perfect bedtime stories for younger kids (and older siblings who secretly still like this sort of thing).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Boy and His Cow 25 Sep 2009
By SCM TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This set of stories about the life and times of a boy and his toy highland cow are really rather splendid. Rather than just relying on story lines that would not occur in most households Angus (the cow!) is woven into the everyday life of Jamie's family. There are weddings, illness, a less than grown up uncle and disasters with the washing machine. What makes these stories seem so authentic is the dialogue. When Jamie's father says "how did you end up here Angus?" I can hear myself talking to the bears, fish and hippos that share our house! These are stories that are both believable and beautifully told.

These tales are drawn from real life, are exactly the right length for a bed time story and lack the overt commercialism that dominates so many children's books. They will delight most younger children who are starting to ejoy "chapter books". Highly Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book 8 Oct 2010
By D. Griffin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A perfect bedtime book for a four or five-year-old. Jamie and his family members are so true to life, and the stories are engaging and funny. I'd love to find more simple books for my son--he doesn't need scary, irreverent or suspenseful--just good stories about a little boy with a little boy's emotions and concerns.
5.0 out of 5 stars Jamei and Angus 13 July 2008
By S. Cain - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My daughter loves Jamie and Angus. She likes the drawings in the book as well as the cute stories. Her favorite is the one where Jamie and Angus have to go to the hospital for Jamie's stomach ache. While he is there he takes a little girl and her stuffed animal's last three chocolates that she was saving for when she got to go home. My daughter learned that it was wrong to steal from that story and every time I read it to her she tells me that Jamie and Angus are being bad. They are a tad long for bed time stories but I think the extra time is well worth a quality story.
