Book Reviews:
//A Sick Day for Amos McGee// Written by Phillip C. Stead and Illustrated by Erin E. Stead is the winner of the 2011 Caldecott Medal. Amos McGee is a zookeeper and always loved to visit all the animals in the zoo and one day he got sick. He didn't make it to the zoo that day, but he got lots of guests at his house! //Read A Sick Day of Amos McGee// to find out who his visitors were!

The 2011 Newbery Medal winner is //Moon over Manifest// by Clare Vanderpool, published by Delacorte Press. This story takes place in the town of Manifest, which is based inn Frontenac, Kansas. Frontenac, Kansas was where Clare Vanderpool's grandparents lived and where she was inspired to write this story. //Moon Over Manifest// is about Abilene Tucker who is put on a train by her father to live with a friend over the summer. She was disappointed to see that Manifest was a dried up, old town, but becomes excited when she finds an old cigar box filled with mementos. Abilene and her new friends go on an exciting spy hunt. Read this story to learn about the mysterious Path to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss. Sadie, who teaches them about stories from the past.
