Sloth at the Zoom
La description
One day, a sloth accidentally gets delivered to the Zoom! instead of the Zzzzzoo, a much more laid-back, slow-paced place. At the Zoom, the zebras gallop so fast they leave their stripes in puddles and the monkeys climb so fast they forget to stop at the treetops. When the sloth tries to make friends, nobody has any time—until the sloth meets a creature who’s a little more her speed. This is a surprising and funny picture book about slowing down and making time for what matters. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit. ly/2IQYoDi
