Darwin liked it. Laughed a lot when Jamie's uncle acts scandalized by the cows toilet manners.
More Jamie and Angus stories, just as good as the first. The last story is probably most poignant for moms and dads, as Jamie teeters on the edge of being too grown up for a plushie toy.

Very sweet and gentle stories about a boy and his stuffed highland bull.

Both the text AND the illustrations manage to convey that magical feeling that one's toys may actually be real; I kept expecting Angus to come to life!
