A Sick Day for Amos McGee Philip C Stead Erin E Stead 9781596434028 Books

A Sick Day for Amos McGee thrust its way into my heart in January 2011 when it won the Caldecott Medal. I had run a mock Caldecott unit with my third grade class, and this book wasn’t even on our radar enough to put on our ballots. I had some definite favorites that year, both for the Caldecott Medal and for timeless books I wanted to make sure I bought for my own children (Art & Max; City Dog, Country Frog; Ballet For Martha; Mirror Mirror; It’s a Book; Ubiquitous), and I was initially crushed when some of those favorites weren’t recognized at the ALA awards… Until I went to the bookstore that afternoon, bought A Sick Day for Amos McGee, and realized how amazing it was.

Though Philip Stead had published one book previously, A Sick Day for Amos McGee was his wife Erin’s first illustrated book… and both newbies hit the nail squarely on the head with this charming, timeless book. Amos McGee, zookeeper who will remind adults of Mr. Rogers, is one of the more endearing book characters I can think of. He wakes early each morning, greets even the items around his house and the bus driver, and is extraordinarily devoted to the animals at his zoo. He knows each one intimately, taking care to make them feel comfortable and loved. Until, one day… Amos McGee gets sick. Amos’s tenderness with his animal friends is reflected in the worry they feel about him and the actions they take to ensure that he too feels comfortable and loved. This is the kind of story that makes children and adults alike want to treat their friends and loved ones the same way Amos McGee does.

And the illustrations! Erin’s pencil and woodblock prints are done with minimal, reserved color, but are full of details that render each reading of those story new and exciting. I didn’t notice the repeated inclusion of a red balloon, tiny bird, and mouse until the fourth or fifth time that I read the book! Tiny details aside, Erin’s sketches allow the sweet, caring personalities of each character to show through. Readers feel genuinely concerned about the rhino with a runny nose, depicted with constant concern or worry on his face reflecting just how sick he feels, and compassionate toward the shy penguin, drawn with his wings and toes pointed in, as if he’s trying to curl up small enough to go unnoticed.

Philip and Erin Stead, thank you for this book. A story of the kindest of friends, timeless illustrations leaving you with more with every reading… It was an instant favorite with my room full of third graders, and it is now a favorite with my own children (2 and 4.5). Publishers recommend this for ages 4-8, but it can definitely be enjoyed younger and likely older too!

If you If you loved A Sick Day for Amos McGee, check out Bear Has a Story To Tell, the duo’s second collaboration together. It’s every bit as charming of a friendship story with as many fun details that make it new and interesting to read each time. For that matter, I love every single book that Philip Stead has written and every book Erin Stead has illustrated!

A Sick Day for Amos McGee Philip C Stead Erin E Stead 9781596434028 Books Reviews

This is a beautiful book! The artwork is captivating and the story is perfect for young children. I want to review this book early because it's sure to be a classic )

"A Sick Day for Amos McGee" follows a Amos McGee, a friendly zookeeper through a typical day when he visits many of his animal friends, then his atypical sick day when his animal friends wonder where he is and their adventure that ensues. The animals are adorable and you can't help but love friendly, old Amos. The artwork is truly brilliant and kids will love searching for "easter eggs" on each page, including a red balloon and small mouse and bird that follow the animals and Amos through their adventures.

A beautiful, fun and heartwarming book. You and your kids will both love it and read it at bedtime for years )
I found this book in a list of Best Books for Toddlers and checked it out at the library. It has become all of our favorite, and I just purchased a copy of the book for our own collection. It is also the first time my 2 1/2 year old daughter has said someone's first and last name so I thought that was really cute. The book illustrations and story are sweet and beautiful and this really makes it in our top favorite books (and we read a lot of children books). If you like this book, you might also try out The Snail and tne whale, which is also a wonderful book to read aloud and has a sweet story as well. A Sick Day for Amos is a treasured story I enjoy reading and my kids enjoy hearing over and over.
One of the children’s books you don’t get tired of! I swear I saw new details in the illustrations even after reading this 30 times. It is just a sweet, fun, and lovely book.
This book is adorable! The illustrations are nicely done - not too much color that will overstimulate a child. The story is very sweet. My daughter likes looking for the red balloon on each page. It teaches children about kindness, caring and selflessness.
I just adore this book. It's really a book about friendship, thoughtfulness, and caring. Amos McGee is the zookeeper who is very punctual and spends time with the animals. Amos finds things to do with his animal friends that make them feel good about themselves. One day, Amos gets sick and his animal friends come to his house to care for him while he's ill. They show him the same consideration and affection that he has shown to them.
This might be the most adorable children's book ever written. There aren't a ton of words to it, so you can make it a fast story if you want to get your kid the heck to sleep. Or you can make up a lot of your own story to the pictures as you go along if you want to inspire that youngster's imagination. A definite must-have for the book shelf (or the floor... or the sink... it all depends on the toddler's mood)!
This is truly one of the most beautifully written children's books and I highly and fully recommend it. My two-year old grandson loves this book and there is such a loveliness and a gentleness to it that makes it appealing for adults as well. Amos tends to the animals every single day, following the same routine, day after day, until one day, he does not show up for work because he is not feeling well. The animals take the same bus Amos takes to get to the zoo and they show up at Amos's house because they miss him.

The illustrations reinforce the gentleness and loving nature of the story. This is a book that is meant to be kept on a book shelf for children of all ages - and maybe for adults of all ages as well.

Please do not hesitate to add this beautiful book to any child's collection.
