Peter and Ernesto are on their third adventure! This time, their friend Bernard goes missing, possibly in search of a rumored dragon that lives in a nearby temple; it's getting dark, though, and the jungle is no place for a sloth to be at night, especially on his own. The friends head out on their own adventure to find Bernard, and possibly, the dragon, and meet a host of hilarious animals along the way.

The Peter and Ernesto books are adorable stories about friendship, embracing differences, and working together. They never disappoint, and are perfect for chapter book readers and middle graders who love a good animal or friendship story. Peter and Ernesto are like Bert and Ernie; Frog and Toad; George and Martha. They're friends who love one another, differences and all; they push one another outside their comfort zones (with hilarious, sweet results); they embrace all of their friends, together, and they are always thrilled to make new friends. Graham Annable's cheerful artwork is immediately recognizable: kids will know, as soon as this book shows up on shelves, that this is a new Peter and Ernesto story. 

If you haven't had the fun of experiencing a Peter and Ernesto story yet, treat yourself.

It was like Christmas

My favorite sloths are back! This time they are traveling (at record speed!) to a temple where there is a rumored dragon. While traveling, Peter and Ernesto and the other sloths are on the lookout for a friend. They learn that their traveling becomes a little easier when kindness is shown, and then it's often reciprocated.

Another excellent book in an excellent series. I continue to love the art and writing! I especially loved when they reached the really dark area (can't remember what it is called just now) the panels were just black. It made me chuckle.
