Sloth at the zoom  Cover Image Book Book

Sloth at the zoom / Helaine Becker ; illustrated by Orbie.

Becker, Helaine, 1961- (Author). Orbie, 1984- (Added Author).

Summary:

When Sloth is mistakenly delivered to the ZOOM, instead of the slower-paced Zzzzzoo, she wants to make friends, but it seems like all the animals in her new home are always busy, late, and in a rush. Finally, Sloth meets someone more her speed, who invites her down from her tree for a cup of tea. Their friendship is delightful enough to stop all the other animals in their tracks. As day becomes night, and night becomes day, the animals at the ZOOM! just might slow down enough to become fast friends.

    One day, a sloth accidentally gets delivered to the Zoom! She was supposed to be dropped off at the Zzzzzoo, a much more laid-back, slow-paced place. She had been looking forward to long, languorous naps while the sun gently warmed her belly. But at the Zoom, the zebras gallop so fast they leave their stripes in puddles. The monkeys climb so fast they forget to stop at the treetops. And the parrots fly so fast their tails draw rainbows across the sky. When the sloth tries to make friends, nobody has any time--until the sloth meets a creature who’s a little more her speed, and everyone stops to notice. This is a surprising, delightful and funny picture book about slowing down to enjoy the little things and making time for what matters.
