so-soA birding group from the US travels to Iceland but disaster strikes and one of their main members (who dislikes puffins by the way!!) is found dead. The sleuth is a zookeeper from California who is in the country to pick up a polar bear and other animals for their northern climes exhibit.
Loved the animals and Iceland, but didn‘t really care about any of the characters. This is book four in the series so that may have something to do with it
Looking forward to getting into this cozy mystery set in Iceland 🇮🇸 #CurrentlyReading #ThematicCozies @julieclair
“It was a quiet day at the zoo. But Amos McGee had a cold. And so, instead of going to the zoo, he stayed home in bed.“
But one day, Amos wakes up feeling ill and can‘t go to work. His animal friends, showing their love and gratitude for all he‘s done for them, decide to visit him instead.
pickI feel this is a great read for around 2nd grade. I think many students would relate to the main characters special interest: animals. I would include this in my future classroom and integrate it into a science lesson.
“Their keeper Mr. Gramzay noticed the two penguins and thought to himself, 'They must be in love.“
This is a perfect book for teaching young children concepts of acceptance, inclusion, and love. A very beautiful book that would be amazing for young readers.
