A Sick Day For Amos McGee was one of my favorite books I read all year. It was about a bunch of animals that took care of the zookeeper when he fell ill one day. Amos McGee always visited his good animal friends and took very good care of them, so when he wasn’t their one-day the animals decided to switch the roles. This shows the friendship a person can have with animals. It always teaches it is okay to try something you’re not used to doing. This is made for all races and ethnicities. It is a fiction book but easily connectable if you have someone close to you that you care about. This would be for middle age grade school. Stead, P. C., Stead, E. E., & Roaring Brook Press. (2010). A sick day for Amos McGee.
“A sick day for Amos McGee,” illustrates with words and pictures, what it means to be a good friend. Amos McGee is a zookeeper who is always making time for his friends at the Zoo. He gets there early everyday to do activities with the elephant, the tortoise, the penguin, the rhinoceros, and the owl. Illustrations show that when Amos McGee got sick, all of his friends ventured to his house instead. Everything that Amos did for his friends at the zoo, they did for him at his house. This book could be used to discuss the dynamics and values of friendship.Stead, P., & Stead, E. (n.d.). A Sick Day for Amos McGee.
