Go, Sloth, Go!
CCBC Review:
Deep greens and rich blues made with ink and torn paper are the layers of a thick jungle canopy where a dark shape emerges on the page. It’s Sloth, who after some sleep is ready to eat. With a big yawn, masked eyes, and quiet resolve, Sloth begins to climb. “Go, Sloth, Go!” is the energetic refrain after each careful move on Sloth’s slow, deliberate, and dedicated climb toward food. “She moves by degrees towards the tastiest leaves.” Simple rhyming text and a satisfying chant will delight young readers and those in quest of a perfect snack. ©2026 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
