Everyone knows Sloths do everything slowly. Amy’s family are the complete opposite. They do everything fast – eating, housework, driving and shopping, and some of these at the same time! These Fast and Slow ways of doing things are thrown together after Amy finds Sloth hanging from a tree in the park.

She couldn’t leave him there all alone, so she brings him home to stay. Sloth eats slowly, bathes slowly, combs his fur slowly and walks slowly – all slowly bringing Amy’s family to his way of doing things.

This story is all about slowing down and enjoying life.
