BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Peter and Ernesto have lost their home in the hurricane.  Now they, along with their sloth friends, must find a new home.  But where?  They loved their tree home and other trees are just not measuring up.  A bird suggests the great tree south of the river.  As they make their journey to find a new home, they find adventure, friends, and enemies.  They will go where their feet lead and hope for a new home.

Graphic novels have high reader appeal.  Especially in the elementary grade levels.  The set-up is excellent.  The pictures are big and bright.  The dialogue is simple, but enough to tell the story of these lovable sloths.
