Sloth Slept On by Frann Preston-Gannon

A group of children find a sloth snoring away in their garden. The two older children dream up outrageous possibilities, from an astronaut to a pirate, to a space creature, while the youngest little girl investigates and discovers what it really is and where it lives. But how can the children help the sloth to get home if it won't wake up?

'a humorous mix of story and facts.. the sloth itself, blissfully asleep throughout, is completely endearing'
