Plot
Amos McGee is a punctual man who goes about his day the same way every day. He swings his legs out of bed, puts on a fresh uniform and hops on the #5 bus at 6:00am to go to the zoo. While at the City Zoo, Amos always makes time to visit his good friends and always gives them exactly what they need. He follows a reliable agenda of activities with each of his favorite animals: the elephant, the tortoise, the penguin, the rhinoceros and the owl. Amos sits quietly with the shy penguin and at sunset, reads stories to the owl who is afraid of the dark. One day; however, Amos woke up with a terrible cold. He swung his legs out of bed, curled them back again and decided that he would not make it to work. Because Amos is a reliable friend, his dear friends started to wonder where he was. They were getting worried, so the animals left the zoo and hopped onto the #5 bus. To comfort Amos, each animal stretches beyond his or her fears to help a friend recover. After his friends help him recover, they all go to bed as they have a morning bus to catch that brings them back to the zoo.
