A very cute book about a sloth doing the best thing in the world. Lots of words and speech bubbles. Better for older children.

Cute, and goofy, but kind of hard to read aloud. The title is present on every page, but is quickly overrun with animals wondering what it could be referring to.

Cute concept that will appeal to primary kids, although the pace may be a bit slow for them. Good for making predictions.

I feel about this book the way I do it’s companion about the Red Panda.  It would be hard to do for story time, but could be a great puppet show if you could get enough hands in.  The story is much better read directly on a lap, or to yourself.  Saying that it is wonderful, and colorful, and a pleasure to read.

Super cute and funny book starring our two favorite animals - SLOTHS and RED PANDAS! We couldn't be happier! And, not to spoil anything, but Mervin really does end up doing one of the best things in the world!
