A Sick Day for Amos McGee

A lovely book about the zookeeper Amos and his friends. It is a reassuring story about the comfort of friendship.The book arrived in good conditions and the pages are very thick so its quite sturdy and perfect for toddlers as well.

Bought for my just turned four year old. She listens to me reading it but misses the point of the story. Think this book is better aimed for older children, maybe 6+. It's quite expensive for a short book too, was expecting better. However it's nicely illustrated and good quality pages.

A beautiful story gloriously illustrated. It tells of love and care for each other in an amusing and imaginative way. Ignore how animals leave the zoo or an elephant entering a small room to visit a sick friend. Simply enjoy the story for what it is - love and concern.

Found this recommended on several blogs and websites, also an award winning book.Sadly it just bored my 4-year old niece and I could understand why.Maybe better suited to 6+.

This was an eagerly awaited book and the content and illustrations did not disappoint. The book arrived as promised and was packaged very carefully to prevent any damage in the post.
