A Sick Day for Amos McGee

Written by Philip Stead and Illustrated by Erin E. Stead

Every day Amos McGee visits his five animal friends at the zoo, sharing a race with the tortoise, keeping the shy penguin company, and reading bedtime stories to the owl. But when Amos comes down with a cold and cannot make it to the zoo, his friends decide it is time to return the favor. What does it look like when the animals take care of Amos for a change?

RIF's 60th Anniversary Highlighted Book for 2011.
