A Sick Day for Amos McGee

(2) PS Illustrated by Erin E. Stead. Every day kindly zookeeper Amos McGee plays chess with the elephant, keeps the penguin company, reads stories to the owl, etc. When Amos stays home one day, his friends have just the right medicine: they make time to visit their pal. The attentively detailed pencil and woodblock illustrations reveal character and enhance the cozy mood of the gentle text.
