A Sick Day for Amos McGee

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | January, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-17110-8 $7.99
New ed. (2010)
(4) PS Illustrated by Erin E. Stead. This board-book edition of the 2011 Caldecott Award–winner is a sturdier alternative to the original picture book--even if it's not really a board-book story. Kindly zookeeper Amos McGee plays chess with the elephant, reads 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 detailed pencil and woodblock illustrations enhance the gentle text's cozy mood.
