Sloth Sees
the World
Written by Susan Rich Brooke
Illustrated by Julilustrador
O h , hi ! Good morning ! I was just , um , dozing .
I dont get many visitors up here .
Im Brady . Welcome to my tree ! Its a great tree .
It has tasty leaves all you can eat ! Theres even
a shady spot at the bottom of the trunk for my
weekly bathroom break .
Ive lived in this tree my whole life , right next to
my mom . ( Hi , Mom !) I really , really love my tree . But
sometimes I wonder is there more in the world
to see ?
Mom ! I want
to see the
world !
Hang on . Ill
pack you a
lunch .
Road
trip !
Check it out . Rio Rio is only miles away ! I can be
there in hours if I dont sleep . Yeah thats
not going to happen .
At least I have three ngers on each front paw .
It would take me twice as long to get there if I had
only two , like my cousin Chloe .
Well , this is a
nice change
of pace .
Are we
there yet ?
Ok , Ill get there when I get there . I move even
slower on the ground , though .
YAWN !

Two weeks later
Wow - Wow - WOW !
Uh , guys ,
were not in
the rainforest
anymore !
Good thing Mom packed
my lunch . I dont see
too many tree buds ,
twigs , or leaves here .
I cant see that well in the daylight . But even I can
see that those buildings are bigger than trees !
And listen : Do you hear that
vroom-vroom
,
honk - honk - honk
? Those noises are louder
than waterfalls and bird calls !
!
Whoa , check it out . That car is faster than a jaguar jaguar .
Doesnt anyone stop and smell the orchids orchids around here ?
The city is amazing , and Im going to see it all .
Just as soon as I take a little nap .
Zzz

Great
view !
Wake me
up in
hours .

What an adventure ! Who wouldve thought a sloth like me
would get to snooze on a mountaintop cable car cable car ? Or doze
on a oat in the worlds biggest Carnival Carnival celebration?
But now , I need a real rest , rainforest-style .
Ill swim the rest of the way . Ill get there three times faster .
Thanks for the lift !
Whee !
Zzz
?
Those long arms
are good for
more than just
hanging around !
The city was out of this world , and Im so
glad I visited . But I wouldnt want to live there .
To be honest , life in the slow lane is really more
my style .
Mom ! Im
home !
