Every day, Amos spends time with his friends at the zoo. He takes time out of his busy day to run races with tortoise, play chess with the elephant, read to the owl, and do various other things for his friends. One day Amos is to sick to go to work, so his friends return the favor and take care of Amos.
I think this book is great for lower grades. This would be a good book to use to teach children about kindness and friendship. The book models the actions of caring friends. It also teaches that friends can be from different backgrounds by using a human interacting with various animals.
