Synopsis

In the vibrant Amazon rainforest, a sloth moves slowly, eats slowly, and even sleeps slowly. Other animals question his unhurried ways, asking why he doesn't run, fly, or play like them. The sloth remains silent until the jaguar accuses him of being lazy. After thoughtful consideration, the sloth explains that he is not lazy but enjoys living life at his own peaceful pace. Eric Carle's dazzling collage illustrations bring the rainforest and its unique creatures to life.
