About This Book

Every day, zookeeper Amos McGee makes time for his animal friends — playing chess with the elephant, sitting quietly with the shy penguin, and lending a handkerchief to the runny-nosed rhinoceros. When Amos wakes up too sick to go to work, his animal friends take the bus to return the kindness.
