Whoa, sloth, whoa!

A sloth is slowly making its way up a tree in its rainforest home when the wind knocks it loose and it tumbles onto the road. No, sloth, no! But luckily a truck driver stops, realizing the sloth has hurt its toe, and takes the sloth to the wildlife hospital. Sloth gets an x-ray and then some stitches before it’s ready to head home. Let’s go, sloth, let’s go! Finally, the kindly truck driver rows it out to reunite with its family…though, in true sloth form, it will be rather slow to say goodbye.

Reviews

“Go, Sloth, Go! to the rescue…tense shoulders? Relaxed… Frowny face? Smiling… Silent frustration?… Laughing out loud…this simple, simple narrative, never the less, tells an action packed and – yes – laugh-out-loud story…illustrations of the sloth’s face in this story convey a wide variety of emotions, very well…bravo, Sloth, bravo!” Library Bound

“The text is perfect for little ones showing an interest in a book’s language. Three-word rhyming refrains capture the actions, while the digital artwork tells the full story through full page spreads that show facial expression in every detail of the adventure…Little ones will enjoy the tale, and will soon be mimicking the telling.” Sal’s Fiction Addiction

“…images and words make for a well-told tale that highlights the often-fraught relationship between humans and animals…A simply told, feel-good nature rescue.” Kirkus
