Home Adventure Home Story

Angus Lost by Marjorie Flack is a perfect home adventure home story for a read aloud in kindergarten, first or second grade classrooms. It tells a story of a curious dog who leaves home to learn about the world outside his gate. Children relate to Angus and understand his feelings. A discussion about the milkman and his job is always interesting and often relates to Social Studies units on community helpers then and now. This book can also be used as a model text for writer's workshop on home adventure home stories. Sharing this story with children is a joy and a pleasure.

Fifty years later . . .

My mommy helped me read this when I was a mere toddler. My mommy is gone and I am an old person now, but I want to thank mommy for introducing me to the lovable Angus! Each time she took me to the library, I lalways wanted to take out the same Angus books. And now, YEARS LATER, I want to own them all. One never grows tired of the spunky little terrier and his adventures. If you are an old curmudgeon, Angus will lower your blood pressure. If you are an adult and introduce a child to Angus today, they will be thanking you half a century later--trust me!
Keep going, my little Angus--I love you!

Everyone is Curious

This is one of three books about Angus, the little Scottish Terrier. He is like many small boys or girls
who do not want to stay safely at home, but want to take off and explore the world. Without being terribly scary
this story illustrates that sometimes we are not ready to do what we think we are ready to do, and that there are
good reasons for certain rules. Angus is very smart and learns quickly. I feel children relate to the way curiosity
tempts us to do things we should not do.

I also enjoy reading the Quack Quack Quackety Quack talk of the ducks to little children because they love
hearing an adult quack.

Angus books

I love all the Angus books. Having owned a Scottie dog, I am particularly thrilled with the illustrations - they are so accurate. I used to read these to my daughter when she was a child & am now buying them for all my friends' little kids. I'll keep my set forever. The stories are so endearing.
