My love for Angus knows no bounds. I'm aware that this is primarily the result of being a child whose family almost always had a Scottish Terrier, but how can you not adore this dog? In this installment, Angus's curiosity takes him through the open door and under the hedge so he can investigate that strange "quackity" sound. But this little black dog may be in over his head when his bark isn't as bad as the ducks' bite! The whole Angus series of books by Marjorie Flack is a delight, for lovers of Scotties and all curious dogs.

Lovely artwork! Though I prefer the black and white over the colour. It is a nice contrast between the two though.

Cute story of a curious Scotty. Scholastic has an adorable video version of the story that mesmerizes kids.

Love this! One of those sweet old-fashioned picture books (Copyright 1930) with lovely illustrations. Angus is curious about the ducks across the street and one day he gets a chance to go check them out. Starts out a bit text-heavy, but lightens up as it goes. So sweet. Will display for pet storytime. 3+

After Harriet and I enjoyed Angus and the Cat a couple readers recommended Angus and the Ducks by Marjorie Flack.

Angus continues to be a curious dog. This time he hears quacking from the other side of the hedge. He wants to find out what's making the noise. His curiosity gets the best of him and he learns that ducks aren't always nice.

Everyone who suggested the book were right. Harried loved the book. Marjorie Flack's books hold up over time. I grew up with Ask Mr. Bear and now I'm enjoying the Angus books with my daughter.
