Etiquette can be a minefield, so let Brian the sloth guide you very slowly through the mores of modern living.

Whatever the social situation, his sage advice will take you effortlessly, if slowly, through life. Sloths, of course, play by their own set of rules, but this hilarious guide will be sure to help you whether you are on a first date, starting work, going for a job interview, or managing your social accounts.

It includes advice from how to take a much-needed nap during the day without causing offence, to how to greet colleagues (with a smile) and to politely say 'no' to all those invitations so you leave yourself plenty of napping time.

A Sloth's Guide to Etiquette is your perfect companion for navigating the complexities of modern social norms with a bit of sloth wisdom.
