4.5 stars. I never thought of sloths as cute until I read this book. But oh, they are indeed so very cute. At least the babies, and A Little Book of Sloth is chock-full of photos of them. Slothville is where they live--it's a rescue home for abandoned sloths. The workers there aim to rehabilitate the sloths and prepare them for the wild, though plenty of them also are permanent fixtures at Slothville.
I learned plenty about sloths, making this title good not only for oohing and ahhing over, but also for reports for school. On sloths. Because now I think a lot more of those need to be assigned. Did you know it takes FOUR WEEKS for a sloth to digest one meal? Wow. Also, they have odd poopy behaviors, but I won't spoil that one for.
Recommended!

Pretty adorable but light on info. The tone is very friendly and anthropomorphic. The latter I struggle with when it comes to informational books. But overall it is very cute, the pictures are great and sloth lovers will be delighted!

I had no idea sloths were so cute! Great photography. I wish there had been more source material, and fewer cutesy phrases in the text. Less scrapbook and more legit nonfiction style. But still- so cute!

Adorable baby sloths in this irresistible photographic picture book. What else could you want?

The writing itself in this book is rather underwhelming, so the four stars is simply out of cuteness alone. If you love sloths, you will get a healthy dose of their cuteness in A LITTLE BOOK OF SLOTH.
