The Amazing Augustus Series

The Amazing Augustus is back (you’re welcome!)! And this time he’s brought some amazing friends. What will it take for Augustus to realize they can all be amazing in their own ways?

Hello, my lovely audience.
It is I, the amazing Augustus.
I understand your need to stare.
My face? So handsome.
My tail? So fancy.
And my amazingness? It is beyond compare.

Even after getting swallowed by a lion, Augustus the squirrel hasn’t changed a bit. He loves showing off how amazing he is to a crowd! But when his friends show how amazing they can also be, Augustus starts to get a bit…jealous.

He tries to hop like a rabbit, fly like a bird, and burrow like a mouse, only to get disheartened when he isn’t as good at those things as his friends are. But with the support of his friends, Augustus learns that they can ALL be amazing, and that he’s amazing because of his friends.
