>Zookeeper Amos McGee always makes time to visit 
>his good friends at work: he plays chess with 
>the elephant, runs races with the tortoise (who 
>always wins), sits quietly with the penguin, 
>lends a handkerchief to the rhinoceros (who has 
>a runny nose), and reads stories to the owl (who is afraid of the dark).
>
>One morning, Amos wakes up with a bad cold and 
>decides to stay home in bed. His friends wait 
>patiently and finally decide to pay Amos a visit 
>at home. 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.
>
>If you want to give a child a book that will 
>remain with them always... this is the one that you want. Marvelous.
