It's the return of my favorite sloth buddies! Peter and Ernesto are back, and they've got a new adventure when a hurricane blows their beloved tree away! Peter, Ernesto, and the rest of their sloth friends must set out to find a new tree. A great tree. A tree just like the one they had, preferably. As they journey through the jungle, there are new dangers to brave: angry ants, slithering snakes, running pigs, and a very hungry jaguar! Ernesto is up to the challenge, but poor Peter... well, Peter's going to need his best friend next to him as they lead their friends to a new tree. And maybe, a new friend or two along the way.
I love this new series! The two friends are like the Bert and Ernie of sloth civilization, with idealistic, upbeat Ernesto and cautious, nervous Peter acting as counterbalances to each other. The new animals the group meets as they venture through the jungle are hilarious, and the twist near the end will have your readers cheering. It's emotional to see the sloths survey the damage to their tree, and it adds a depth to Peter's and Ernesto's characters as they take on the responsibility of shepherding their group to a new home. It's just as emotional to see them find a new tree and the final resolution will just make you feel good. Peter and Ernesto is feel-good reading, and who doesn't need more of that?
I can't wait to see where life takes them next. Add this to your graphic novels collections and talk them up! Make a Best Friends display and make sure to include Frog & Toad, Elephant and Piggie, Narwhal & Jelly, and Duck and Porcupine.

Adorable sloths, Peter and Ernesto, are best friends who lose their home when a hurricane destroys their tree. Join them on their adventures through the jungle to find a new home. Along the way, they'll meet a few new friends and a few "not-so friends," until they accomplish their goal.
This book is a great graphic novel choice for early readers. They will particularly enjoy the rhyming language found in a few places in this story. The characters are fun and their expressions are silly.

I aspire to Ernesto’s positivity, but I’m honestly the worry-wart Peter. Also, this graphic novel was even funnier than the first one. I laughed out loud several times. Who knew sloths could have such grand adventures?

I thought this was a lovely book. It would have been nice to have a map to show how far they travelled.

Random library grab, but it was really fun to read out loud to kids. We all had some chuckles!
