A SNOW DAY FOR AMOS MCGEE

Charles Everett's deep-voiced narration gives a storyteller's tone to this audiobook. His voice combines with bright, cheery music to welcome listeners into the third tale of elderly zookeeper Amos and his animal friends. Everett continues with the caring tone established in past audios as Amos weathers windy, rainy days by knitting thoughtful gifts, including an afghan for the tortoise, "who liked the feeling of being all tucked in." Everett builds delicious anticipation for the arrival of the first big snow. He has a strong sense of timing, and he places emphasis on the right places in the author's well-chosen words. Everett fulfills the audio's promise as he concludes by celebrating the magic of snow, community, and cocoa with marshmallows. Recommended listening for families who want to welcome the season.
