This celebration of going at your own pace will remind readers that sometimes slow is the best way to go! After some sleep,
sloth is ready to eat.
Go, Sloth, go! In a world where the pressure to speed ahead seems relentless, now is the time to take a trip to the rainforest and cheer for the slowest mammal on Earth--a hungry sloth--who takes her time moving through thicket and vine in search of the tastiest leaves. Developed in consultation with The Sloth Conservation Foundation in Costa Rica, Toni Yuly's exploration of the sloth's habits and habitat springs to life, rendered in rich, colorful layers of torn paper and ink. Don't miss Toni Yuly's companion title The Pelican Can!

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Praise for The Pelican Can!:
* "Repetitive, rhyming, call-and-response-style text makes this one a sure bet for the younger set...torn-paper, ink, and digital-media artwork is the standout here....Yuly imbues her subject with verve and energy; readers will be just as eager to see the results of the pelican's flight as the birds waiting back home in the nest." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "Displays the pelican's power and balletic grace...the pelican's natural behavior supplies all the visual drama the story needs." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "Concise but effective rhymes and frequent repetition of the titular refrain make for a reading experience as steady and cheery as the sloth herself is...Simultaneously cozy and utterly engaging in its simplicity."--Kirkus, starred review
