A cozy, inviting, and heartwarming wintry tale about friendship and playing in the snow, from Caldecott Medal-winning and NYT bestselling duo Philip and Erin Stead, perfect for fans of The Snowy Nap and The Mitten.
Amos McGee, the friendly zookeeper, loves spending time with his good friends no matter the season. When snow in the forecast never arrives, he decides to head home and hope it comes another day. But when overnight a surprise snowfall blankets the town in fluffy white, what shall his lovable squad of animals do? Visit Amos and play in the snow, of course!
Amos and his familiar companions are back for this delightful tale of winter hope and joy--the latest follow-up to the Caldecott Medal winner A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

Starred Review
Amos loves a snowy day-whenever one is predicted, the stunningly illustrated picture book follows Amos as he prepares all the animals at the zoo with necessary knitwear. Not only a fun read-aloud, but this book also explores many different elementary concepts. From weather to zoo animals to warm winter items of clothing, this would fit any primary or elementary collection. Erin Stead uses woodblock and pencil to showcase the ongoing story as well as to provide a glimpse into secondary or background information. The illustrator also has several pages without print, which would provide an excellent opportunity to "read" the picture for key information. VERDICT Building an understanding of winter vocabulary, this is an excellent addition to any collection.
