Sloth Slept on - Hardcover

"Relying on simple shapes and judicious use of white space, droll watercolor paintings reveal the back story of the sloth's unexpected presence. . . . Useful sloth facts and visual vignettes of the sloth as an astronaut, pirate, and knight add gravitas and levity, respectively. A neatly paced, cleverly presented, humorous lesson in awareness." --Kirkus Reviews

Who's that sleeping in our tree? When a group of kids finds an animal happily napping in their backyard, they set out to discover what it is and where it belongs. As they search and search—never noticing all the posters and news articles about a sloth that's broken out of the zoo—they finally discover the identity of the snoozing creature. And when sloth wakes up, it's in for a BIG surprise! Frann Preston-Gannon has created an endearing, adorable, and huggable title character; a group of intrepid children; and a wildly humorous situation that will appeal to young readers.
