The sloth moves very slowly and takes life very gently; all the other animals in the rainforest want to know why he is so slow, so quiet, so boring and so lazy. The sloth’s reply is a surprising one – quite a philosophical statement in favour of slowness.

I liked this book because the sloth hangs around all day.

I loved this book as I liked how I could see and name the different animals on the back cover especially those I haven't heard before.
I also liked how the sloth is quiet and slow throughout the book only to make a funny rhyme at the end.
Great pictures and very colourful too - rhyming words used to make the reading experience enjoyable and memorable.

Love sloths and represents sloths well

I like the sloth

I didn't like how the animals were asking why are you so lazy and grouchy and quiet because I think it was a bit rude to do that. The sloth was just doing his thing, doing what sloths do and that's fine.
