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.
