Review
While the cover featuring slots in pajamas looks cute and fun, the story itself is very much not. The story tries to make jokes about how sloths only sleep all day, but they fall flat. In the end, a sloth who somehow has all kinds of energy comes in and saves their school from being closed. Lester's books generally feature a moral or lesson, but this one misses the mark on the idea of being an individual. Not recommended.
Overall Book Score: fair
