Description
Follow a sloth through a typical day in the rainforest, where it hangs upside-down from branches, dozes for hours, and slowly munches on leaves. Vivid photographs and easy-to-read sentences explain why the animal's fur often looks green and how it stays hidden from predators. A labeled diagram and picture glossary reinforce new vocabulary as young readers discover the sloth's unique adaptations.
