* Cooke writes with a firm sense of authority and a loving
irreverence that lifts these pages far above most real-life animal
books and should make the inevitable umpteenth readaloud easy to
bear.-- "Publishers Weekly, *STARRED REVIEW*"
* Move over, pandas--there's a new adorable wild animal on the
picture-book scene. Sloth aficionado Cooke casts the sloths of
Costa Rica's sloth sanctuary (which she dubs "Slothville") in an
adorable photo-essay that combines vivid images of the photogenic
residents with lively information about sloths in general and
individual residents...kids with patience for the book's longer
length will enjoy listening to it as a read-aloud, and plenty of
youngsters will be happy just to flip through the images of an
unfamiliar but deeply cuddle-able collection of creatures.-- "--
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *STARRED REVIEW*"
