Customer Reviews

Jamei and Angus

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.

A wonderful read-aloud

We read this aloud to our 4-year old son and it was a smashing hit. Jamie is a sweet, realistic little boy and the love he has for his little stuffed animal (Angus) is right on.

A sweet story
