A Sick Day for Amos McGee

My toddler was instantly enamored with this book the second he received it. He loves the illustrations of the animals (especially riding the bus). The story is endearing. Definitely a good pic for any child.

The is a delightful book and I am looking forward to reading it to all 800 students in my school library. Each year I introduce the newest Caldecott winner along with the honored books and medal recipients from past years. The friendship between Amos and the zoo animals is believable and seeing the animals on the bus is adorable. Pre-school children will love it as will all elementary students. It will make a perfect bedtime book and a great gift for newborns and their families.

This is a story for kids with lovely illustrations & a story of kindness, caring, friendship, & generosity.
I think lovely for boys & girls. A calm & gentle story , great for bedtime.

Erin Stead's wood block illustrations in this book are perfect. I think every home should own all the Caldecott Award winning books but this one is simply art. The illustrations and text work seamlessly together. Don't buy this one as an ebook! It would do it an injustice! This one must be owned hardbound.

I bought this book for my grandson who just turned 3, he does'nt live nearby but I am told by his mother that he loves the story, and the pictures. There is no negative feedback coming from his mother, so I would highly recommend this book

What a lovely, gentle true story. How can you not believe it would be anything but real people and real friends caring for each other. You could never read it without feeling so much better, even when you don't feel sick.

As a child psychologist and parent of young children, this book is my favorite!! A beautiful and simple story about friendship with remarkable illustrations accompanying it:) I highly recommend it and can easily see why it won many awards!!

We absolutely love this book! The beautiful pictures and story are just heartwarming. Our daughter (2years), picks this story often for bedtime reading, and a lot of times on back-to-back nights. That's how I know when she really likes a book and I think I enjoy this one as much as she does :-)

Found this book with a friend at the bookstore. We both wanted the book but the store only had one copy. My friend let me buy it that day so the next day I ordered it for him and his kids. My son and I really enjoy this one. It's a sweet book
