Angus the Scottish terrier - whose encounter with some territorial anatine rivals is chronicled in the hilarious Angus and the Ducks - returns in this second delightful adventure, just as enthusiastically curious as ever. The object of his interest this time around is the new resident of his home:
These vintage picture-books about Angus, original published in the early 1930s, have a jovial quality to them that is very pleasing! The stories themselves are engaging, the typographical decisions - the use of capitalization for emphasis, the layout of the text, in order to coordinate with the images - are astute, and the artwork is adorable. Angus and the Cat continues the process whereby its eager young canine hero learns more about the world, and how to interact with it, and can be read either as a simple animal story, or as a tale with significance for children who have mixed feelings about a new sibling. Recommended to all young dog lovers, and to fans of the impetuous Angus.
