I Am Speedy: Confessions of a Turbocharged Sloth

You may look at sloth and think she is lazy. No, no. You’d be mistaken. She is turbo-charged!

Don’t blink. You’ll miss sloth climbing very, very, very HIGH and very, very, very FAST.

Want to race through the forest? Sloth can set this place a blaze with her quickness.

But all that zipping and zooming can be exhausting. Yawwnnn.

If there’s one thing sloth is even better at… it’s getting a good day’s sleep.

With laugh-out-loud humor, I Am Speedy is the perfect bedtime (or naptime) story for even the silliest little readers.
