APPEALS TO: MANY

Sloth is minding its own business in the trees when it takes a dangerous fall and almost is hit by a truck.  Luckily, the truck driver rescues sloth and takes it to a nearby clinic to get help with its injuries. 

THe author and illustrator work together with just a few words in the “go sloth, go” pattern and use expressive illustrations to tell the story.  In a clear, concise way it shows how people have encroached into animal territory, causing injury, while  also being able to help in small ways. 

Such cute end papers!
