A Snow Day for Amos McGee

Philip C. Stead

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.
