A SICK DAY FOR AMOS MCGEE

Consummate narrator Jim Dale brings this story of kindness and empathy to life for little listeners. Every day, like clockwork, Amos McGee takes the 6:00 a.m. bus to the zoo to visit his animal friends. He knows exactly what each animal needs--whether it's a race with the tortoise or quiet companionship with a shy penguin. When Amos gets sick with a cold, his animal friends make the journey to him to help him get through his hard time. Dale's expressive narration, with an especially endearing Amos, is shared in two versions, the first paired with engaging music and the second with page-turn signals to allow listeners to read along with the charming picture book.
