A Snow Day for Amos McGee

48 pp. | Roaring Brook | September, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781250324733 $19.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Erin E. Stead. In his third outing, city-dwelling zookeeper -- and lover of snow -- Amos McGee (A Sick Day for Amos McGee, rev. 5/10; Amos McGee Misses the Bus, rev. 11/21) eagerly anticipates a forecasted storm. But first, he departs his cozy home, waits for the bus, and heads to work, knitting in tow, to dole out handmade gifts: a hat for the elephant, socks for the penguin, and more. Now everyone is prepared, but, disappointingly, the snow doesn’t fall. The next morning, a winter wonderland -- and animal friends to share it with -- await. Fans of the gentle characters will enjoy this visit, with its eye-pleasing visual hallmarks shown in tidy, thoughtful wood-block-print and pencil art.
