Comparing!
Im Comparing A Sick Day For Amos McGee and the book i choose, Lon Po Po. Lon Po Po is a freaky story about a kids home though suddenly a bad wolf appears. As in the other story, A Sick Day For Amos McGee, its a very happy book and how he cares for his animals at the zoo. To me that is a big defference!
