ÒGr 1-3-- A mouse named Amos builds a boat and sets off to sea. In one unfortunate moment, he finds himself cast overboard in the middle of the ocean. As he contemplates his death by drowning, Boris the whale emerges. This Spanish translation is wonderfully told and will be a natural for storytime.

"Amos and Boris" is a heartwarming story by William Steig about an unlikely friendship between a mouse named Amos and a whale named Boris. The two friends help each other in times of need, showing that true friendship knows no boundaries. The book celebrates the power of kindness, empathy, and connection between individuals, regardless of their size or differences.
Major themes in Amos' preaching include social justice, the consequences of sin and injustice, warnings of impending judgment from God, the importance of true worship and sincerity in following God, and the call for repentance and moral renewal.
It is a name of Hebrew origin meaning to carry.
Amos was a shepherd and a tender of fig trees before being called by God to be a prophet. He lived in Tekoa, a village in Judah, near the southern border.
Amos criticizes the worship that is hypocritical, focused only on outward acts rather than inner faith, and that is disconnected from justice and righteousness in society. He rebukes those who participate in religious rituals while neglecting the needs of the marginalized and oppressed.
Oh, dude, Amos Fortune's story is divided into 19 chapters. Yeah, like, 19 whole chapters of his journey from being enslaved in Africa to becoming a free man in America. So, if you're looking for a good read with a decent number of chapters, that's the one.
