Book Review: Slow Days, Fast Friends

Erik Brooks wrote a great sloth book!  In this story, you will meet Howard the Cheetah, who spends his days zooming around at top speed.  But one day, a leg injury slows him down so much he can't even keep up with a turtle!  Howard meets Quince, the slowest around:  a sloth.  Not only does Howard make a new friend, he learns to see things differently and appreciate moving slow.

Check out the book to see all of the beautiful pictures and find out what Howard learned about going slow -- and what Quince learns about going fast!

Book Review: Super Sloth

This is a sloth-tastic book from Australia by Katie Abey.  Super Sloth is the slowest superhero in the world.  But Super Sloth friends still get all the help they need!  Super Sloth springs into sloth-speed action and saves the day every time.  On the cover, Super Sloth has a fuzzy touchable red cape, to signify Super Sloth's status as a bonafide super hero.  A fun book for sloth lovers of all ages!
