Description

A group of children find a sloth snoring away in a tree in their garden. Not knowing what it is, they set out to find out. While the two older children dream up increasingly outrageous possibilities, from a ballerina to a pirate, to a space creature, the youngest little girl investigates books and a globe and discovers what it really is and where it lives. But how can the children help the sloth to get home if it won't wake up

Age range: 3-6 years

Reviews

I love the vignettes and background detail which add depth to the story.

A neatly paced, cleverly presented, humorous lesson in awareness.'

A delightful introduction to a very special creature!
