When the speediest family in the world finds a sweet, slow sloth on
their doorstep, they take him in. But, little do they know, their new
pet has quite a bit to teach them. For Amy's family, there simply aren't
enough hours in the day to get everything done. Mom rushes through her
work. Dad rushes through his chores. Even little Amy rushes through
dinner. But Sloth does things slowly. He likes to take long, leisurely
baths with lots and lots of bubbles. He plays drawn-out, imaginative
games. He eats his food slowly, enjoying one small bite at a time. After
a few weeks of caring for their new pet, Amy's family finds that they
actually do have enough time to tell one another stories or go for long
walks together after dinner--so long as they stop rushing around so
much. The Sloth Who Slowed Us Down is a celebration of slowing down
and remembering the important things in life.
