Sloth Children's Book Signing at Elm Street Books

The Sloth and His Friends is a fun, heartwarming story about a sloth that teaches kids about the Amazon rainforest and its rich diversity of life. It's great for kids ages 7-12.

Sal the sloth lives a rather dull life in the rainforest canopy. Although Sal has lofty goals, he struggles with his "slothfulness." While his animal friends run, jump or fly around, Sal can barely make it to the top of his tree. Meanwhile, rainforest life is disturbed when a logging company begins clear-cutting trees and burning brush near Sal's home. What will Sal and his friends do? How will they survive? Will nature-loving humans come to their aid?"

This book is quirky, funny, and unique and a lot of young people like sloths. Even though it's about a sloth, it's rather fast-paced and exciting," Zanetti says.
