Summary: Amos McGee, a caring zoo keeper loves taking care of the
animals and has close friends in the zoo that he sees every day. One day, Amos
cannot make it to work because he is sick with a cold and so the animals decide
to pay him a visit and take care of him for once!
In the classroom: A Sick Day for Amos McGee teaches
children the value of friendship and taking care of each other when others are
in need and that is the moral I would teach in my classroom.
