Bookroo's summary
Jamie, a spirited boy, finds his perfect companion in Angus, a toy bull with a forlorn gaze. From a Christmas morning union, they face mishaps like a washing machine disaster and hospital visits. Together, they navigate a world of playful challenges and heartwarming adventures. Will their bond withstand the trials of childhood?
From the publisher
Jamie and Angus - an imaginative little boy and his treasured toy bull - spring to life in six delightful stories from Britain’s Children’s Laureate, Anne Fine - illustrated with warmth and charm by Penny Dale. The moment Jamie sets eyes on Angus in the toy shop window, with his silky white coat and forlorn gaze, he just knows they belong together. On Christmas morning the two are united at last, and the coveted Highland Bull becomes Jamie’s constant companion - through an ill-fated run-in with the washing machine, Uncle Edward’s nighttime jump-training sessions, a stay at the hospital for a stomachache, and three more thoroughly amusing adventures.
