Whoa, sloth, whoa!
A sloth is slowly making its way up a tree in its rainforest home when the wind knocks it loose and it tumbles onto the road. No, sloth, no! But luckily a truck driver stops, realizing the sloth has hurt its toe, and takes the sloth to the wildlife hospital. Sloth gets an x-ray and then some stitches before it's ready to head home. Let's go, sloth, let's go! Finally, the kindly truck driver rows it out to reunite with its family...though, in true sloth form, it will be rather slow to say goodbye.
“The sloth’s deep burnt-red hues pop nicely amid the verdant setting, while her delightful, human-inspired facial expressions exhibit everything from the surprise of falling from the tree to the anguish of her injury. Together, images and words make for a well-told tale that highlights the often-fraught relationship between humans and animals.”
