Peter & Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths by Graham Annable
5.0
An adorable graphic novel about friendship, worrying, and adventure. It reminded me of an old favorite [b:Toot & Puddle|1032414|Toot & Puddle (Toot and Puddle)|Holly Hobbie|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1223632427s/1032414.jpg|1018693] -- one friend wants to stay home, the other wants to see the world.
The only thing missing for me was jokes about how slow sloths are. I kept waiting for there to be some twist about how it was taking ages for Peter and Ernesto to get anywhere, but, alas, it didn't seem to factor in. Still, I think a good number of kids will already know that sloths are super slow and find it funny on the face of it that a sloth wants to travel around the world.
Overall very cute and compelling. I loved the ending. All around an easy sell to even the most reluctant readers.
