A Sick Day for Amos McGee
by Philip C. Stead , Erin E. Stead (Illustrator)
Roaring Brook Press, 2010 Caldecott Award
Summary: The zookeeper Amos McGee gives all the animals special attention. But when he takes a sick day, they come to give him special attention.
Lesson: I used this book in a lesson about Fiction vs. NonFiction. It was paired with the NonFiction title A Day in the Life of a Zookeeper by Nate LeBoutillier. The book can also be used in lessons about animals and about compassion and caring for the sick.
Level: PreK-2nd
