About This Book

In this companion to the Caldecott-winning A Sick Day for Amos McGee, the beloved zookeeper misses his bus and decides to walk to work instead. His unexpected journey takes him on a winding, wonder-filled adventure through the city and beyond, with his animal friends joining along the way.

Why We Love This

The Steads have done it again - a quiet, beautiful story about slowing down and finding joy in detours. The gentle pace and gorgeous art make it a perfect read-aloud.
