Summary: Still a wonderful story
Review: I didn't think my class of wiggly 3 year-olds would sit still for this, but they were just enthralled. Maybe the idea of being lost and finding your way back; encountering strange creatures. I love the language in this: simple yet flowing.

Review: This book introduces Angus, a small Scottish Terrier.

Angus can't resist going out and seeing the new things. But soon Angus can no longer find his way home. But after spending the night in a small cave, Angus finds a way to find his way back home again.

Summary: great, entertaining book to read to youngsters
Review: this book is a joy to read. any child (and the adult reading) would appreciate the little scottie's adventures! the drawings are very expressive and cute and their simplicity are endearing. the text is short and to the point and can be entertaining and didactic when read to a youngster. anyone owning a scottie would see their pet's character traits in angus immediately. this is a great book to read to a child and to expose them to the joys of reading with the fun of experiencing the antics of a small and curious dog.

Summary: After Reading This My Heart Is Lost, Too!
Review: This book is a wonderful little work of art that you should not miss. Written in 1931, this story of a plucky and curious young Scottish terrier named Angus is a short, simple tale about a small dog's big curiosity almost getting the best of him. Angus, who is very curious about where the milk man comes from and where the wide road goes, and what kind of animals cars are, and MANY other things, finds his chance to explore when the gate to his yard is left ajar one day. He has some amazing adventures for such a little guy and they are sure to hold the attention of young listeners. The artwork in this book is truly lovely with the backgrounds being similar to silhouettes. Many of the pictures are simple black and white and others have colored washes to add interest. The drawings show the automobiles, homes, furnishings, and a bit of the clothing of the bygone day in which this book was written and greatly add to the charm of this book. Little Angus is a heart-melter and I predict you will not be able to resist him. Two other books about his adventures, Angus and the Ducks and Angus and the Cat are wonderful, too.
