A sloth’s own pace

In a tropical rain forest where the other animals hurry by, a sloth hangs from a tree and faces questions about his quiet, unhurried way of life. The story turns on his eventual response, pairing a simple animal encounter with themes of self-esteem and self-reliance. Eric Carle’s colorful collage art is a central part of the picture-book presentation, while the publisher describes its message as an invitation to slow down and notice the world around you.

Book overview

Slowly, slowly, slowly . . . that's how the sloth lives. He hangs upside-down from the branch of a tree, night and day, in the sun and in the rain, while the other animals of the rain forest rush past him. "Why are you so slow? Why are you so quiet? Why are you so lazy?" the others ask the sloth. And, after a long, long, long time, the sloth finally tells them!

Set in the lush world of the tropical rain forest, this original picture book is an exquisite showcase of Eric Carle's colorful collage art-with a meaningful message: Slow down! Take time to enjoy your world.
