All the Animals Where I Live

(4) K-3 The author of A Sick Day for Amos McGee describes his life in the country, remarking on his surroundings, including the animals he routinely encounters; the mixed-media illustrations are imbued with his customary sensitivity. There's no story here, which may be an obstacle for Stead's young readers: the book reads like a prose poem full of free-associative thoughts about his dog, his grandmother, and so on.
