I'm glad you found something good to write about in this book, but I don't think you've convinced me to read it. It's a great review, despite the tough character.BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-6169893842724806632014-01-16T16:55:34.054-06:002014-01-16T16:55:34.054-06:00I love the idea of the animals in the zoo taking c...I love the idea of the animals in the zoo taking care of the zoo keeper in A Sick Day For Amos McGee. I think it's such a sweet idea and a great way to show compassion.<br />And I love the Jane Goodall book. She has always been fascinating to me and there is a severe lack of biographical books for younger readers. I am happy to see her story there and I hope that there will be more about other great women.<br />BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-42618961123972365832014-01-16T00:32:50.966-06:002014-01-16T00:32:50.966-06:00I bought a Sick Day for Amos McGee for a niece for...I bought a Sick Day for Amos McGee for a niece for Xmas. Even though it's a classic, I'd never read it before.

Love that the illustrations are pretty, but also poignant once looked at in the context of the story itself. Definitely going to recommend this one to my brother for his girls!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
