Challenged by the other jungle animals for its seemingly lazy ways, a sloth living in a tree explains the many advantages of his slow and peaceful existence.

Sloth hurries to make it to the store to claim his free shopping spree, but the notoriously slow-moving animal faces challenges in reaching his destination before time runs out.

Slothy Claus slowly loads his sleigh, taking breaks for naps and snacks, and finally makes his deliveries long after the forest animals have discovered that the blessings of Christmas can come without presents. Told in the rhythm of Clement Moore's "Night before Christmas."

"High in the canopy of the rain forest, a sloth spends her days and nights, camouflaged from predators. She moves very little. You might not spot her because she has a secret life. Follow her in this picture book narrative as she swims and climbs, looks for food, escapes a harpy eagle, and gives birth to her son, caring for him until the day when she will leave him to live a secret life of his own."--Provided by publisher.

Sloth is having her first sleepover at her best friend Paloma's house, but when she finds out at that Paloma plans to stay up all night, sleep-loving Sloth realizes she must find a way to stay awake.
