A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Philip C. Stead
Amos McGee rises early every morning, swings his legs out of bed, and puts on a fresh-pressed uniform. Every day he goes to his job at City Zoo and visits his friends – the animals. But one day Amos McGee isn’t feeling well. What will the animals do when he doesn’t show up to play with them?
