A few of the reasons are, the amazing art work, the endless possibilities of activities you can do around this book, The different animals in the book, and the lesson at the end of the book. The book teaches young children that everyone is different, just because the sloth is slow does not make him any lazier than another animal, sloths are just born to be slow. Another good lesson in the book shows you that sometimes taking things slow, can be peaceful. As an adult I have learned to relax and take things step by step and day by, so that lesson that Eric Carle shows in the book, really reached out to me on a personal level. I like how the back of the book, shows all the animals, because I could easily make that into an art activity and say I want every student to draw one of the animals, and I will teach them how to make it like Eric Carle, because I learned how to make Eric Carle drawing in my Art Class. My favorite part of the book was the ending when the sloth stated, "It is true that I am slow, quiet, and boring. I am relaxed and tranquil, and I like to live in peace, but I am not lazy." That quote was very powerful in showing that just because someone moves at a slower pace, that doesn't make them lazy. no reviews | add a review
