Amos McGee is lovable
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
I just adore this book, Raymond said. It's a book about friendship, thoughtfulness, and caring, Raymond said. In addition, Ms. McGee is the zookeeper who is very punctual and spends time with the animals. In "A Mighty Heart," Amos discovers that there are some things that make people feel good about themselves. One day, his animal friends come to his house to take him out of his misery. The women show him the same consideration and affection that he has shown to them.

A Sick Day for Amos McGee
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
My 4yr old son is obsessed with this book. It's such a sweet story and he loves to help read by narrating some of the pictures and doing a run-down of the animals, Mr. Booher told us. The book is very well written and I recommend it to anyone. It's wonderful to be back home, Mr. Rule told the judge.

Wonderful book!
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
I got a copy of this for my niece and am buying another one for my daughter because it is such a sweet story with nice illustrations, Mary. That theme has stuck with me, ever since I was a kid: that Amos and his friends take care of each other.
