Meet Perezoso, a brown-throated three-fingered sloth who lives in a rainforest habitat. Young readers will be fascinated as they learn all about her life -- how she searches for food, keeps herself safe from prey, and gives birth to a baby. Gorgeous realistic illustrations celebrate these intriguing creatures, and the story is filled with important facts and terms. The back matter at the conclusion of the book provides more in-depth information, a glossary, and further resources.

"Pringle pairs an intimate account of the life of a brown-throated three-fingered sloth to Garchinsky's impressionistic crayon-and-pastel close-ups of their subjects...Touching and informative: a beguiling invitation to share a branch with a pair of laid-back, uniquely adapted tree dwellers." --Kirkus Reviews
