High in the rainforest canopy, a brown-throated sloth and her baby are on the move. Very, very slowly.
Their mission may look simple, but for a sloth it is risky business. Along the way, you will discover why sloths hang upside down, how algae and tiny moths help them hide, why digestion takes so long, and how staying still can be a clever survival trick. The journey is funny, smelly, surprising, and full of real animal science.
Written with warmth and lively detail, this nonfiction picture book turns one sloth’s slow adventure into an engaging look at rainforest life. Back matter adds more facts about sloth species and ways people can help protect their shrinking habitat, making it a strong choice for young animal lovers and nature readers.
