The attentively detailed pencil and woodblock illustrations reveal character and enhance the cozy mood of the gentle text. (c) Copyright 2010.

This board-book edition of the 2011 Caldecott Awardwinner is a sturdier alternative to the original picture book--even if it's not really a board-book story. Kindly zookeeper Amos McGee plays chess with the elephant, reads to the owl, etc. When Amos stays home one day, his friends have just the right medicine: they make time to visit their pal. The detailed pencil and woodblock illustrations enhance the gentle text's cozy mood. (c) Copyright 2018. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
