Opis

Most of us have witnessed a couple of twelve year old boys in action. Their energy is amazing and is only exceeded by their imaginations and their innocence. Bud and Jim, who are the best friends in the whole world is my perception of a typical pair. If you see one, just glance around, for the other is nearby. They live in New Smithville, a fictional small town somewhere in the United States. The two don't have to travel far to enjoy a great climbing tree in the Durbin's front yard. Of course they do their climbing when the Durbins aren't home. There is also a great pond with perfect stones scattered along the shore, just right for skipping. Mr. Bumble's house lies adjacent to the pond. Of special interest is Mr. Bumble's really neat rowboat tied up to his little pier. If it weren't for summer vacation, school would be a killer. Various teachers have been exposed to Bud and Jim. Class time occasionally turns into a disaster, particularly on show and tell days. Teachers do not seem to have the same affinity for rockets, snakes, and toads that boys do. But life is good and each day brings a new adventure or discovery for the boys as seen through Bud's eyes, the Me of the Me and Jim stories. The reader is invited to share their lives and, perhaps, relive some of his (or her) own memories.
