What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, gentle nonfiction portrait of an animal for a very young audience.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, age 1 to 3, who is interested in animals but can be easily overstimulated. This book is perfect for a child who thrives on routine and needs a predictable, calming story to transition to quiet time or sleep. It also serves as a lovely, gentle introduction to a unique rainforest animal.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book can be read cold. A parent may wish to adopt a slow, soft reading voice to match the book's tone and enhance the calming effect. The parent has had a long, chaotic day and the toddler is still full of energy before bed. The parent is searching for a "wind-down" book that will calm and soothe their child, rather than a story that might excite them. The child might also have recently seen a sloth in a video or at the zoo and expressed curiosity.
