I'm a little biased when it comes to "A Sick Day for Amos McGee." I love this story. I love the illustrations. I love the friendships that are portrayed. I just couldn't wait to post about it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Summary:
Everyday, Amos visits his friends at the zoo. He plays chess with the elephant, runs races with the tortoise, sits with the penguin, lets the rhinoceros use his handkerchief, and reads stories to the owl. One day, Amos doesn't visit, so the animals decide to pay Amos a visit.
Vocabulary:
• amble: a slow and easy way of walking
• handkerchief: a small piece of cloth used to wipe your nose, eyes, or mouth
• ache: a dull, mild pain that doesn’t stop
• polish: to make something smooth and shiny by rubbing
• limber: to bend easily
