Synopsis

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a sloth moves slowly, eating and sleeping at its own pace. Other animals question its sluggishness, asking, "Why are you so slow?" The sloth remains silent until the jaguar accuses it of laziness. Finally, the sloth explains that it is not lazy but enjoys a tranquil life. Eric Carle's vibrant collage illustrations bring the lush rainforest and its unique creatures to life, encouraging readers to appreciate the beauty of a leisurely lifestyle.
