Values

In this second book of the series, Angus is jealous of the cat at first and a little put out that he's not the "only child" any more. But, after learning more about the cat and feeling more secure in his home, Angus finds that the cat can be a good companion after all. This is a great story for children who are soon to have a new brother or sister. I'm so glad these books from the 1930's have been reissued. Many children may find them old fashioned, the illustrations aren't the bright crayon colors so popular today, but the stories still hold after all these years. It's up to parents and grandparents to show the children that, just because the books seems old fashioned, the stories they tell were valid when they were written, valid before they were written, and will be valid for all time. Please, read this and the other two "Angus" books to your children. Talk about them. We need to go back to tolerance, gentleness, and understanding, if just for the time it takes to read these short books. There' too much violence in a lot of the contemporary children's books. I won't review "Angus and the Ducks" and "Angus Lost" separately; I've said it all here.

a classic story

This is a wonderful book. Gentle humor and an important message.


Angus books

I love all the Angus books. Having owned a Scottie dog, I am particularly thrilled with the illustrations - they are so accurate. I used to read these to my daughter when she was a child & am now buying them for all my friends' little kids. I'll keep my set forever. The stories are so endearing.
