This book is about a zookeeper named Amos McGee. Amos loves his job and spends time with each animal every day doing something special together such as playing chess or reading bedtime stories. One day Amos McGee gets sick and the animals decide it is time to return the kindness he has given them every day. They decide to take a trip to his house and spend time with him to make him feel better.
This is a sweet book I would recommend for students ranging from Prek to 1st grade. It teaches students to be kind to one other and care for each other. An activity I would do with this book is to have students describe a time they were kind to a friend or a friend was kind to them and illustrate a picture of it. I could put them together and we could make our own book.
