Deep greens and rich blues made with ink and torn paper are the layers of a thick jungle canopy where a dark shape emerges on the page. It’s Sloth, who after some sleep is ready to eat. With a big yawn, masked eyes, and quiet resolve, Sloth begins to climb. “Go, Sloth, Go!” is the energetic refrain after each careful move on Sloth’s slow, deliberate, and dedicated climb toward food. “She moves by degrees towards the tastiest leaves.” Simple rhyming text and a satisfying chant will delight young readers and those in quest of a perfect snack.

★ "Simultaneously cozy and utterly engaging."--Kirkus, starred review​



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.
