Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-16 00:00:00 John Woos We all loved this fun little book. Amos McGee works at the zoo and he takes such good care of the animals. They love him and one day he has a sick day and the animals miss him and they come to his house to help him feel better. It's a sweet and touching story, simply told for beginners and up and this really warms up your heart. I can say that I don't want a Rhino in my house, but anyway. I had warm fuzzies all over reading this. The kids had fun with this story and even the niece gave it 4 stars. The nephew gave this 5 stars saying he wants to play games with elephants. This is a fun story.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-31 00:00:00 Duncan Stevens This may be my favorite picture book for children. This is destined to be a classic. It is a soft, gentle story of friendship between a kindly zookeeper and his animal friends. Beautifully illustrated, every page contains subtleties in it's classically-rendered scenes. There is a softness that translates in every image, a kindness in every creature and this is not lost on my children. We have read this dozens of times and they always point out different things...sometimes funny, sometimes sweet. It feels old-fashioned and timeless. Just stunning! 5 stars every time.
