In the first story, preschooler Jamie tries to prepare his stuffed Highland bull Angus (The Jamie and Angus Stories) for the visit of a little girl who plays too roughly. Jamie comes up with a childlike but successful solution. Throughout the six stories Fine always maintains Jamie's complete believability, conveying his perceptiveness and empathy side by side with his limited perspective.
