Not quite as funny as the previous books in the series, but still another sweet story about this little band of sloths.

Peter and Ernesto's journey through the jungle at night is just great. Two sloths face adversity with love and friendship. I love these guys, each book in the series is wonderful. Read this if you need a little happiness in your life.

Adorable graphic novel that catches you off guard with its insightful dialogue. Perfect for children ages 7 to 10.

Quirky and very good. I love these comics, and love that I can share them with my five year-old.

Aww, another adorable Peter and Ernesto tale! On this adventure, one of the others goes missing! Ernesto suspects Bernard as gone to see a dragon that supposedly lives in a nearby temple. It's getting dark, and the jungle is no place for a sloth to be alone at night, so off they go to find the temple, the dragon, and hopefully, Bernard!
I love that Annable still maintains and highlights the differences between Peter and Ernesto but shows them continuing to be the best of friends. The lessons taught in this series are all very easy for younger children to understand. Delightful!

Thanks to First Second and NetGalley for the eArc.

Sloths in the Night is a wonderfully charming and silly graphic novels about friendship. Great for younger readers, this series will keep kids giggling from start to finish.

Thanks to NetGalley and First Second for providing a digital review copy.

I love the Peter and Ernesto series! They're a classic best-friends duo, like Bert and Ernie, Frog and Toad, or Elephant and Piggie. In this volume they're joined by a few more friends, sloths and otherwise, and venture yet again beyond their tree, in search of a missing friend and a DRAGON.

This is one of my favorite graphic novels to hand to kids who are still building their confidence at reading-- it's longer than most easy readers, making it feel like an accomplishment to finish, but still has the built-in delights of large, expressive pictures and few panels on a page. Kids who resist picking up a chapter book on their own will more willingly try this, and often read it in a sitting or two. My chapter book book club gobbled up the first in the series and asked for more, and this volume definitely delivers.

These Peter and Ernesto books are a delight. I find myself smiling the whole time I’m reading them and handing them to kids every chance I get.

Ahhhh. This early graphic novel is sooooo cute. Ernesto built a wind sock from some fabric Bernard gave him. But when he is ready to show it off, no one can find Bernard. So the hunt is on. Peter, Ernesto, and all their friends embark on a journey to find Bernard, and the new all powerful dragon. It will be a night full of fun and just a hint of danger. This is such a heartwarming story that is easy to grasp for young readers, or easy to read aloud for those not reading yet.
