The Cuteness of Lazy

Something new ...


I recently added a book to our library that is creating quite a buzz of excitement.  But wait...slow down... and "just chill".  After all, that's what the stars of this book do all the time!

"A Little Book of Sloth" by Lucy Cooke is quite literally a cuteness overload wrapped up in a non-fiction book about sloths.

This book is perfect for 3rd-5th grade animal lovers, but I haven't found a staff member yet who can look through this book without making a sound.  Every single adult (and child) who has looked at this book has succumbed to a fit of "ooohs" and "awwws" at every page turn.  The cuteness is relentless!

The sloths featured in this book live at a sloth sanctuary/orphanage in Costa Rica.  The text is written for upper elementary students and gives readers some interesting facts about sloths and the unique place that these sloths live.  The best part of this book, though, are the photographs.  Vivid, detailed, and ... oh, so cute!

Consider adding this to your library whether it be your classroom, home, or coffee table.  This one spans all ages.  I guarantee you will flip through the pages over and over, and never grow tired of those sweet, huggable, laid back sloths!
