Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Said the Sloth

In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Eric Carle introduces children to the sloth, a slow-moving rainforest animal. While other animals question the sloth's laziness, the sloth simply replies that he is not lazy, but peaceful and calm. This story celebrates the idea that it's okay to be different and that slowness and thoughtfulness are not flaws but strengths.
