Jamie and Angus Forever - Anne Fine

. .

Résumé :
A delightful collection of stories about Jamie and his toy highland bull from the former Children's Laureate, charmingly illustrated by celebrated artist Sam Usher. As best friends should, Jamie and Angus share everything. Join them as they have fun at their birthday party, think up some new ways to cry, and deal with a naughty pet gerbil! These playful stories are full of charming and amusing incidents from everyday life - like when Uncle Edward delivers Jamie's birthday present of a box full of party poppers (to Mum and Dad's delight!), or when Jamie gets over his frustrating day with a very messy session of bashing clay! Both parent and child will love reading and rereading this heart-warming collection of gentle, funny stories from a treasured author, which are brought to entertaining life by Sam Usher's wonderful illustrations....
