Taking in a sweet, slow sloth they find on their doorstep, the speediest family in the world slows down their endlessly rushing pace and find they have more time to share together. By the author of Piglet and Mama. - Grand Central PubAuthor Margaret Wild and illustrator Vivienne Toâs picture book The Sloth Who Slowed Us Down is a celebration of slowing down and remembering the important things in life.
When the speediest family in the world finds a sweet, slow sloth on their doorstep, they take him in. But, little do they know, their new pet has quite a bit to teach them.
For Amyâs family, there simply arenât enough hours in the day to get everything done. Mom rushes through her work. Dad rushes through his chores. Even little Amy rushes through dinner. But Sloth does things slowly. He likes to take long, leisurely baths with lots and lots of bubbles. He plays drawn-out, imaginative games. He eats his food slowly, enjoying one small bite at a time.
After a few weeks of caring for their new pet, Amyâs family finds that they actually do have enough time to tell one another stories or go for long walks together after dinnerâso long as they stop rushing around so much.
