5.0 out of 5 starsThis Will Be a Classic
By Wendy Kaplan on September 2, 2002
Format: Hardcover
After all these years of presenting us with fabulous children's books, Eric Carle has outdone himself. "Slowly, Slowly," a beautifully written and illustrated tribute to the world's rain forests, will bring a tear to an adult's eye, and will appeal to children of ALL ages, despite its picture-book presentation.
Beginning with the thoughtful, simply written but heartfelt introduction by Jane Goodall, in which she explains the world of the sloth in terms anyone can understand, to the lovely wording of the book (the sloth does everything slowly, slowly...languid and lovely) to the trademark Carle collage illustrations, this book has something for everyone. And it educates in such a subtle way that even the most recalcitrant child will come away with a strong sense of who lives in the rain forests and why they must be preserved.
Every page features not only the sloth, but another animal as well, illustrated in the most enchanting of collage pictures. At the end of the book, each of these "extra" animals is listed by its special picture, and identified. And each is native to the rain forest.
What more can I say? I predict this will become Carle's legacy, outdoing all the rest of his work combined. I love it so much that I am ordering it for my college-age daughter, whose love of all things wild survived into her young adulthood.

5.0 out of 5 starsSet Your Own Pace.....
By Roz Levine on October 2, 2002
Format: Hardcover
Slowly, slowly, slowly...that's the way of the sloth. Whether crawling along a branch, or eating a leaf, the sloth never hurries, but spends most of his life hanging upside down from a tree branch in the rain forest, and sleeping, rain or shine. "Why are you so slow?" the howler monkey asked one day." And why so quiet and boring, other animals want to know. The sloth didn't answer. He just hung, silently, and slept. But when the jaguar asks why he's so lazy, the sloth finally sees the need to set the record straight. He may be many things, among them lackadaisical, unflappable, sluggish, calm, and laid-back. "I am relaxed and tranquil, and I like to live in peace. But I am not lazy." Then the sloth yawned and said, "That's just how I am. I like to do things slowly, slowly, slowly." Beginning with an intriguing forward by Jane Goodall, detailing the life and habits of the sloth, Eric Carle's wonderfully creative picture book pays homage to an unlikely and endearing hero. His spare and slothlike, repetitive text is quiet, soothing and engaging. But, as always, it's Mr Carle's bold, bright, and imaginative cut-paper collage illustrations that make this book stand out and sparkle. Each two page spread dazzles with vibrant color and clever detail as the many animals who live in the rain forest march by, and youngsters can find all their pictures and names displayed on the endpapers for further reference. Perfect for preschoolers, "Slowly, Slowly, Slowly," Said The Sloth is a captivating masterpiece that entertains and enlightens with its gentle message. As the sloth would tell you...Slow down, set your own pace, and enjoy life!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Treasure
By Preston McClear, Author The Boy Under the Bed on April 30, 2003
Format: Hardcover
Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Said the Sloth, written by Eric Carle, is a delightful children's picture book about the joys of learning to march to one's own drum. A sloth lives alone in the rain forest. The sloth does nothing but hang from the branches of his tree and sleep all day. During the course of the story various animals ask the sloth questions about his habits. "Why are you so slow?" "Why are you so lazy?" The sloth finally responds one day with the following rather simple but effective defense of his life style, "That's just how I am. I like to do things slowly, slowly, slowly." The illustrations are bright and colorful. Eric Carle's collage style is perfectly suited for creating the sloth's rain forest home and the many other animal denizens who populate its landscape. Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Said the Sloth is an excellent book with a gentle and heart felt message for children.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery Cute Book
By Crafty Frugal Mom on August 1, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Very cute book. I bought this to read to my son, and at the time my mom was on a sloth kick too. Her favorite animal is a koala but at that time, the sloth was a close second. We kind of went a little sloth crazy. I also bought her a stuffed sloth with wires in the legs so it could hang wherever she wanted.

Anyway the book was adorable. It's around the house somewhere and my son is now learning to read himself, so I want to find it for him to read when he gets a little more fluent.

Whether your child is reading themselves or you are reading it to them, I would recommend you look at it. For me, animal books are always great, and it's nice to find a cute book that's not overly childish.

5.0 out of 5 starscute book with great message
By annie on February 20, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
We love this book. Eric Carle books are always beautifully done and this one is no exception. All the animals are bugging the sloth because he is so slow but in the end we realize the sloth has it all right because he is taking the time to enjoy life. A great lesson for the kiddos

By measdayme on August 7, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Purchased this book for my 3-year-old grandson after first obtaining from the library. He totally loved, loved, loved this book. He pretty much memorized this book in no time, and that is a feat in itself considering the length of this book.
