Go, Sloth, Go!
Whoa, sloth, whoa!
A sloth is slowly making its way up a tree in its rainforest home when the wind knocks it loose and it tumbles onto the road. No, sloth, no! But luckily a truck driver stops, realizing the sloth has hurt its toe, and takes the sloth to the wildlife hospital. Sloth gets an x-ray and then some stitches before it's ready to head home. Let's go, sloth, let's go! Finally, the kindly truck driver rows it out to reunite with its family...though, in true sloth form, it will be rather slow to say goodbye.

Car alarms are really, really annoying. Today, as I was working, a car alarm went off for at least five minutes. (I just deleted a few MORE sentences about how much I hate car alarms.) The point being, Go, Sloth, Go! to the rescue! I need to purchase this book for libraries I have the privilege of purchasing picture books for. I didn’t really need to reread the book to make purchasing decisions, but I did anyway. Reading it literally made me feel better (car alarm still going, mind you). Tense shoulders? Relaxed… Frowny face? Smiling… Silent frustration?... Laughing out loud.
At three words per page, mimicking the pattern of the title, this simple, simple narrative, never the less, tells an action packed and – yes – laugh-out-loud story. I have been told by smarter people than myself, that changing one word, in a simple sentence like this, is a good way to teach small children about language. Also noteworthy, illustrations of the sloth’s face in this story convey a wide variety of emotions, very well. Were the sloth an actor, they would be Academy Award worthy. There is much more to say about this brilliant, Canadian book. I’ll leave it at, bravo, Sloth, bravo!
