Go, Sloth, Go! -- Gabrielle Prendergast, Hardcover

Whoa, sloth, whoa!

A sloth is slowly making its way up a tree in its rainforest home when the wind knocks it loose and it tumbles onto the road. No, sloth, no! But luckily a truck driver stops, realizing the sloth has hurt its toe, and takes the sloth to the wildlife hospital. Sloth gets an x-ray and then some stitches before it's ready to head home. Let's go, sloth, let's go! Finally, the kindly truck driver rows it out to reunite with its family...though, in true sloth form, it will be rather slow to say goodbye.
