I wish I wrote this book! I love the two-cat jealousy/confusion idea that a kid with a new baby in the house could relate to, and this is so charming. The facial expressions of Pepper and Poe are adorable and expressive. The illustrations are unique. All and all, a super fun & creative picture book. There is tongue-in-cheek blame happening in this story, which may perturb adults, but I think it's pretty funny and innocuous. It sort of reminds me of the ending of a cheesy 70's-80's sitcom. show more Children tend to have the best sense of humor, right? show less

Some kids find a mysterious animal falling from a tree in their yard. They do a lot of reading and their research leads them to the conclusion that it is a sloth from the South American rainforest (or is it??) and they send it back home.

Really delightful, classic kid story. The parents are not paying attention and the kids find out all the information on their own. The Easter eggs of posters and newspapers throughout the book advertising the zoo’s lost sloth are such a wonderful touch.
