reSchool-Grade 2-Fine and Dale make a terrific team for this collection of six heartwarming tales about a little boy and his toy bull. From the moment Jamie sees Angus in the toy-store window, he knows he must have him. Readers will delight in the pair's adventures, which range from laundry mishaps to a stay in the hospital to having the perfect "grown-up" day. Fine's ability to give Angus believable and sometimes even human characteristics endears him to readers. Whether he is waving to the boy from a high shelf or "most forlornly- watching Jamie struggle through some fancy supper with olives," he is always lovable. Dale's pencil illustrations add to the charm of the stories, capturing the feeling and tone to a tee. An excellent choice for beginning chapter-book readers or as a read-aloud.Cathie Bashaw Morton, Somers Library, NYCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
