Everybody loves sloths. Lucy Cooke loves sloths more than the rest of us. In Life in the Sloth Lane, Cooke mixes adorable pictures of sloths from rescue organizations in Central America, short articles about sloths, and quotes about slowing down and enjoying life. The pictures are cute as can be, showing why people love sloths so much. They look so huggable and always seem to be smiling. The quotes, from novelists, religious thinkers, songs, artists, etc., remind us to slow down and life, at least sometimes, more like a sloth.
Here's a taste:
"Forever is composed of nows." --Emily Dickinson "It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." --Winston Churchill "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view." --Harper Lee
But the sloths are the real stars of the book. They are so darn cute. Check it out.
