Slow Down, Monkey!

But that means there's some seriously speedy planning needed to make sure it's a celebration to remember. Monkey rushes through the jungle to get the special cake, funky band and colourful decorations he needs, but nothing seems to be going right. That's until he meets a super-chilled sloth, who teaches him how to slow down and really look at, listen to and experience the vivid world around him in a much more mindful manner. The rhyming text, set to a jumping, jungle beat, is written by Dr Jess French, CBeebies presenter, vet and conservationist, and is brought to life with beautiful illustrations by emerging talent, Anna Terreros-Martin.

"Slowly, Slowly, Slowly," said the Sloth


Book Description

Slowly, slowly, slowly . . . that's the way the sloth moves. Slowly, it eats and then, slowly, it falls asleep. "What strange kind of creature is this?" the other animals wonder. Why doesn't it run or fly or play or hunt like the rest of us? "Why are you so slow?" the howler monkey inquires. But the sloth doesn't answer any questions until the jaguar asks, "Why are you so lazy?" Anyone who has ever felt too busy will appreciate the sloth's peaceful lifestyle and realize that it's okay to take time to enjoy life. Eric Carle' s dazzling collage illustrations introduce readers to the exotic beauty of the Amazon rain forest and the many unusual animals living there.
