Mervin the Sloth Is About to Do the Best Thing in the World

40 pp. | Greenwillow | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-233847-1 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth Chan. Mervin the sloth's animal friends learn that he's about to do something big. Lacking his restraint, they rush to guess what it is: a bird thinks Mervin will fly, a gazelle thinks he'll be "gazelling," etc. Keen-eyed readers will enjoy the antsy, plush-toy-like cast's mugging and dialogue-balloon asides. As for the main attraction: Mervin's deed is the best.
