In this tender tale of reciprocity and friendship, zookeeper Amos McGee gets the sniffles and receives a surprise visit from his caring animal friends. Erin Stead’s delicate woodblock prints and fine pencil work complement Philip Stead’s understated, spare and humorous text to create a well-paced, gentle and satisfying book, perfect for sharing with friends.
“Endearing, expressive characterization in spare illustrations
rendered in muted tones distinguish this timeless picture book. It’s a
great day for Amos McGee!” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Judy
