A picture book about a little sloth who is scared to climb higher, but is afraid of being called a baby.

A picture book about a little sloth who is scared to climb higher, but is afraid of being called a baby.

Description

Sloth Is Not a Baby! portrays Sloth, who is worried about climbing higher up the tree. But she's not a baby.

She's not a bird, either, with wings to fly. Or a monkey, with a tail to catch her fall. Or a snake, that can wrap around branches.

The truth is, Sloth could fall, as her friend Moth so helpfully points out. Again. And again. Until a storm proves that Sloth may not be like the other animals, but being herself is exactly what she needs to be to save the day.
