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.
