A Snow Day for Amos McGee
COPY ISBN
K-Gr 4–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.
