남편인 Philip C. Stead가 글을 쓰고 부인인 Erin Stead가 그림을 그린 부부 공동 작품입니다. 어린이 그림책의 최고 영예인 2011년도 Caldecott Medal을 수상했습니다.
섬세한 목판화 기법과 연필을 이용한 매우 독특하고 아름다운 그림책입니다.
매일 아침 6시면 어김없이 버스를 타고 시립동물원으로 출근하는 에이머스는 동물원 관리인이라기 보다는 동물들의 진정한 친구입니다. 코끼리와는 체스를 두고, 거북이와는 달리기 시합을 하며, 팽귄과는 나란히 앉아서 조용히 시간을 함께 보내고, 항상 콧물을 흘리는 코뿔소를 위해서 손수건을 빌려주고, 해가 지면 어둠을 무서워하는 올빼미를 위해 책을 읽어줍니다.
그런데 어느날 에이모스가 잠자리에서 일어났을 때 콧물이 흐르고 재채기가 나오면서 온 몸에 오한을 느꼈습니다. 결국 에이모스는 몸이 너무 아파서 동물원에 출근을 하지 못하게 되고, 동물들은 하염없이 친구가 나타나기만을 기다리게 되었습니다.
그날 오후 동물들은 모두 모여서 버스를 타고 친구인 에이모스에게 병문안을 갑니다. 에이모스가 따뜻하게 낮잠을 잘 수 있도록 펭귄은 발치에 앉아서 에이모스의 발을 따뜻하게 해주고, 에이모스가 재채기를 하자 코뿔소는 손수건을 건네주고, 올빼미는 따뜻한 차를 끌여줍니다. 그리고 올빼미는 전등불을 끄기 전에 ?� 읽어주네요. 한결 몸이 좋아진 에이모스는 내일 아침에 함께 버스를 타고 동물원에 돌아가기로 하고, 동물들은 에이모스의 침대 주위에 옹기종기 모여서 잠을 잡니다....
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
THE BEST SICK DAY EVER and the animals in the zoo feature in this striking picture book debut.
Friends come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. In Amos McGee’s case, all sorts of species, too! Every day he spends a little bit of time with each of his friends at the zoo, running races with the tortoise, keeping the shy penguin company, and even reading bedtime stories to the owl. But when Amos is too sick to make it to the zoo, his animal friends decide it’s time they returned the favor.
The New York Times Book Review
Observant readers will notice tiny surprises hidden in plain sight: a red balloon, a tiny mouse and sparrow popping up here and there in the story. Erin E. Stead, the illustrator, overlays her pencil sketches with gentle tones of pink, peach, blue and green, and bright red spots that belie the deceptive ordinariness of the text.
Washington Post
Thick, creamy paper and a muted palette add to the gentle resonance of a story that ends with everyone tucked in at last for a sweet night's sleep.
From School Library Journal
Amos McGee, an elderly man who works at the zoo, finds time each day for five special friends. With empathy and understanding he gives the elephant, tortoise, penguin, rhinoceros, and owl the attention they need. One morning, Amos wakes up with a bad cold and stays home in bed. His friends wait patiently and then leave the zoo to visit him. Their trip mirrors his daily bus ride to the zoo and spans three nearly wordless spreads. Amos, sitting up in bed, clasps his hands in delight when his friends arrive. The elephant plays chess with him, and the tortoise plays hide-and-seek. The penguin keeps Amos's feet warm, while the rhinoceros offers a handkerchief when Amos sneezes. They all share a pot of tea. Then the owl, knowing that Amos is afraid of the dark, reads a bedtime story as the other animals listen. They all sleep in Amos's room the rest of the night. The artwork in this quiet tale of good deeds rewarded uses woodblock-printing techniques, soft flat colors, and occasional bits of red. Illustrations are positioned on the white space to move the tale along and underscore the bonds of friendship and loyalty. Whether read individually or shared, this gentle story will resonate with youngsters.
Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
With quiet affection, this husband-and-wife team tells the story of a zookeeper whose devotion is repaid when he falls ill. On most days, the angular, elderly Amos rides the bus to the zoo, plays chess with the elephant ("who thought and thought before making a move"), sits quietly with the penguin, and spends time with his other animal friends. But when Amos catches a cold, the animals ride the bus to pay him a visit, each, in a charming turnabout, doing for Amos whatever he usually does for them. The elephant sets up the chessboard; the shy penguin sits on the bed, "keeping Amos's feet warm." Newcomer Erin Stead's elegant woodblock prints, breathtaking in their delicacy, contribute to the story's tranquility and draw subtle elements to viewers' attention: the grain of the woodblocks themselves, Amos's handsome peacock feather coverlet. Every face--Amos's as well as the animals'--brims with personality. Philip Stead's (Creamed Tuna Fish and Peas on Toast) narrative moves with deliberate speed, dreaming up a joyous life for the sort of man likely to be passed on the street without a thought.
Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
Amos McGee, an elderly zookeeper, enjoys a clockwork life (one teaspoonful of sugar for oatmeal, two for tea and the number five bus to work) until the sniffles force him to stay in bed and miss his daily visits with animal friends. Fragile, gangly Amos, in striped pajamas and ill-fitting zoo uniform, appears as crushingly vulnerable as a child. Children will immediately like and understand him, as they too take comfort in reassuring routines-and would certainly love playing chess with an elephant or running races with a tortoise! Muted greens, browns and blues dominate pages, while brighter yellows and reds leaven the palette's mild melancholy. Erin E. Stead's beautifully wrought woodblock prints and pencil work create almost painfully expressive characters. Wrinkles and crinkles describe the elephant's sagging mass and the rhino's girth, as well as their keen sensitivity. Owl's furrowed brow communicates deep concern even as the group heads to Amos's home to check on him. This gentle, ultimately warm story acknowledges the care and reciprocity behind all good friendships: Much like Amos's watch, they must be wound regularly to remain true.
