\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

Here’s another adorable photo-illustrated book packed with the science of cute creatures by Suzi Eszterhas.<\/p>\n

This time, the cute creatures in question are sloths. The Dr. Sloth of the title is a young scientist, Rebecca Cliffe, who has become an expert on the lives of sloths.<\/p>\n

The book simply tells about her journey to become a specialist on sloths, which began by finding a dead squirrel when she was seven years old and wanting to find out about it. But mostly, the book tells all about sloths — where they live, the different types, how they live, what they eat, what endangers them, and definitely some pictures of sloth babies.<\/p>\n

The book tells about Dr. Sloth’s discoveries and innovative ways she’s learning more, including a picture of her in climbing gear headed to the tree canopy in the rain forest. It ends with ways the readers can help sloths continue to survive.<\/p>\n

There are multiple large photographs on every page, and the text is clear, interesting, and compelling. A lovely book about an animal that’s much more interesting than I’d realized.<\/p>\n
