Mervin the Sloth is just standing there quietly when giant letters drop
onto the page: "Mervin the Sloth is about to do the best thing in the
world." But what is the best thing in the world? What is Mervin about
to do?
It doesn't take long for all of Mervin's exuberant animal friends to
barge in with their own ideas. Flying! Digging! Gazelling! Wait,
gazelling? Is that even a word?
If only sloths weren't so slow! Because maybe it's something even
better. But only Amy the red panda sticks around to see it.
This inventive picture book balances zany, pitch-perfect humor with
warmth and heart--and irresistibly huggable animal characters. Fans of
The Book with No Pictures and The Monster at the End of This Book
will delight in the way it plays with form, makes you laugh out loud,
and introduces us all to our new, very slow-moving best friend.
