Angus and Sadie by Cynthia Voigt is about a couple who adopt two puppies. The male puppy's name is Angus. Angus is more brave and clever than Sadie. Sadie the female puppy is shy, and slow at learning tricks. Angus and Sadie go on a lot of adventures. Sadie almost gets lost in the woods with a sheep. They live on a farm with animals and mean barn cats, who try to jump on Sadie, but she runs away.

This book is teaching you that even though you may not be the same you can still be friends. Like even though Sadie and Angus are different, they are still friends. It is also like that in the world because everyone in the world is different.

Angus and Sadie is a very good book to read if you like dogs. It reminds me of my dog. You might also like to read it because it has good pictures. Angus and Sadie get into a lot of mischief on the farm. You should read Angus and Sadie.

My granddaughter loves this book. We've read the library copy twice. It's been weeks since the last time and now she wants to read it again. She wants her own copy so that she can read it whenever she wants to.

I enjoyed it too. I was very pleased by the way that it encourages the reader to look at life from a dog's point of view. This is good preparation for pet ownership.

This book kind of dull.A good book for 8 and 9 year old kids. Still I liked the book. Good for learning friendship and if you like dogs you will probably like the book.

One of my favorite parts is the part where Sadie saves the sheep. I have read it three times. It's my favorite book and it made me really want a dog of my own.

this book i purchase for my 9 year old grandaughter. she loves it and was so excited when i gave it to her for valentines. it is a great book and amazon shipped it to me in a very timely manner.

This book is about 2 very differant border collies, Angus, the black one,and Sadie, the brown one. Angus is tougher and stronger, and goes with Mister to work in the forest, while Sadie is kind of the runt, and is small and looks up to Angus. The moral of the story is that though these 2 dogs are NOT like eachother, they are still very best friends. Opposites attract. I recomend this book.

I discovered this book AFTER reading Cynthia Voigt's Young Fredle. Angus and Sadie are background characters in Fredle, along with many other critters at the Old Davis Place.

But, I have to say that it's a good thing I read Fredle before reading Angus and Sadie, or I probably wouldn't have picked up Young Fredle. In Fredle we find excellent character development, a captivating plot, and awesome themes. In Angus and Sadie we have excellent character development, but I kept looking for a plot - and never found it.

In Voigt's defense, I can see where Angus and Sadie does a great job of introducing children to (a) raising dogs, and (b) life on a farm. But it pretty much stops there. In many ways, it's more of a teaching book or a documentary about border collies and farm life than it is a story.

If you want to introduce your kids to what life might be like on a farm or how dogs from the same litter can have very distinct personalities, then this is a useful book, and for that purpose I would give it 4 stars. But if you're looking for a captivating story, this will probably leave you wanting more. So, I give it three stars, especially when compared to Voigt's Young Fredle, which I would easily give ten stars if I could.
