"Bella's coming to play," he warned his favorite soft toy and his very best friend. "Remember Bella?" Angus looked anxious. Perhaps, thought Jamie, he was remembering the time Bella threw him up so high that he hit the ceiling. Or the time Bella squashed his stumpy little legs. Or the time Bella dropped him in the wading pool..."
The same gentle language and perfect harmony between friends are evident in this next set of six stories about Jamie and his best friend, a Highland bull named Angus. There is nothing they would rather do than be together. That is what makes life fun and worth living. Young children love familiar characters as much as accomplished readers do. And in these stories they will find comfort and joy as they share the daily antics of two firm friends. In these new stories Jamie and Angus talk seriously about the perils entailed in a visit with Bella, play pretend, wait patiently when the must be apart, share chores and even consider that they may not need to spend every day together. Are they growing up? Admittedly though, it is more fun when they are together!
