A Sick Day for Amos McGee
Enlarge image
Product features
Zookeeper Amos McGee always makes time to visit his good friends at work: he plays chess with the elephant, runs races with the tortoise (who always wins), sits quietly with the penguin, lends a handkerchief to the rhinoceros (who has a runny nose), and reads stories to the owl (who is afraid of the dark).
One morning, Amos wakes up with a bad cold and decides to stay home in bed. His friends wait patiently and finally decide to pay Amos a visit at home. Amos, sitting up in bed, clasps his hands in delight when his friends arrive.

Extract from the book
Meanwhile at the zoo
The animals waited for their friend
The elephant arranged his pawns and polished his castles
The tortoise stretched his legs and limbered up
The penguin sat patiently, all by himself.
The rhinoceros worried that his allergies were worsening.
The owl perched atop a tall stack of storybooks, scratching his head with concern.
"Where is Amos?" the animals wondered.
