What is it about sloths that makes them so adorable? I was enchanted by them when we visited Costa Rica; when I saw this offering on Netgalley, I couldn’t resist it.

This is a beautifully illustrated book that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about sloths. They have inhabited the Americas for 40 million years and the narrative switches back and forth between sloths of today and those of prehistoric times. It is fascinating to learn about their size, habitat, habits, how they survive. It surprised me to learn that they once had a presence in what is now the United States and there are some that were aquatic! I loved their physical comparison to a baked potato!

I think this would work best for families to read together or for middle grade students.

Thanks to #netgalley and #WWNorton and #nortonyoungreaders for the ARC.

Synergy: Eons

Eons are chunks of time used to mark key events in the history of Earth including the history of life on our planet. Eons are the largest division of time and are subdivided into eras, periods, epochs, and ages.

Read the recently published informational picture book, then learn more at the YouTube Channel:

OUT OF THE BLUE written by Elizabeth Shreeve and illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon describes how animals evolved from prehistoric seas. Each two page spread explores an eon, period, or era. The simple, accurate text along with the colorful illustrations and diagrams provide an effective introduction to the evolution of living things. The author skillfully weaves questions and answers into the narrative to bring together key concepts.

Eons is a YouTube Channel from PBS Digital Studios exploring the history of life on Earth. The episode, THE SEARCH FOR THE EARLIEST LIFE shares information about the earliest life on earth. Other videos explore topics related to the evolution of plants and animals through the eons.
