Synopsis

A cozy tale of winter hope and joy, from award-winning and New York Times-bestselling duo Philip and Erin Stead, perfect for fans of The Snowy Nap and The Mitten. A Snow Day for Amos McGee features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!

“Charles Everett's deep-voiced narration gives a storyteller's tone to this audiobook. His voice combines with bright, cheery music to welcome listeners into the third tale of elderly zookeeper Amos and his animal friends.”—AudioFile

Amos McGee, the friendly zookeeper, loves spending time with his good friends no matter the season. When snow in the forecast never arrives, he decides to head home and hope it comes another day. But when overnight a surprise snowfall blankets the town in fluffy white, what shall his lovable squad of animals do? Visit Amos and play in the snow, of course!

Amos and his familiar companions are back for this delightfully snowy tale—the latest follow-up to the Caldecott Medal winner A Sick Day for Amos McGee.
