The story.
Amos McGee is a kindly zookeeper who makes time every day for his animal friends - racing with the tortoise, sitting quietly with the shy penguin, and reading stories to the owl. When Amos wakes up one morning too sick to go to work, his devoted animal friends find a way to return his many kindnesses.
