“Slowly Slowly Slowly Said the Sloth” is the best sloth picture book I own. If there is one I recommend it’s this one! Eric Carle is a great children’s author.
Slowly, slowly, slowly. That’s the way the sloth moves. Slowly, it eats and then, slowly, it falls asleep. What strange kind of creature is this? The other animals wonder.
My first sloth book, Sleepyhead Sloth! Such a cute little picture book! Get it here.
There’s sloth and sled and slush and sleek. There’s slug and slide and slap and sleep.There’s slip and slope and slug and sly. There’s slice and slow and slink, oh my!
David Attenborough is one of my heroes. I’ve always loved his work, his voice, his mannerisms, his wonderful way of looking at life. I was given his autobiography, “Life Stories” (hardcover or audiobook), as a present and was delighted to find that his first chapter was dedicated to his favourite animal, the sloth.

Watch the first scene of “Life of Pi”. On 3D Blu-ray if possible (or at least in HD). BAM. Sloth.
The author of the book, Yann Martel, is fascinated by sloths, and this is reflected in his writing.
Sometimes I got my majors mixed up. A number of my fellow religious-studies students – muddled agnostics who didn’t know which way was up, who were in the thrall of reason, that fool’s gold for the bright – reminded me of the three-toed sloth; and the three-toed sloth, such a beautiful example of the miracle of life, reminded me of God.
You can get a hard copy of the book here, or the ebook for Kindle or iBooks.
