Content: cute sloth, humour
Summary from Amazon UK (I don't benefit by mentioning them)
A little girl wants a pet. She's not fussy,
any will do. Her mother said no to a bird and bunny and trained seal.
Then she agrees to the sloth, Sparky!
Sloths don't know how to fetch. Or roll over. But they sure know how to play dead.
What's an eager pet owner to do?
Nayu's thoughts
I
want a Sparky! Naturally getting a sloth as a pet will only ever
happen if you're the child of a zoo/safari keeper and visit them in
their artificial habitat, but oh to have a Sparky! He has a lot of
character, is incredibly adorable even though he enjoys an extremely
relaxed pace of life. The style of illustration matches him
perfectly, as he intrigues his new owner who doesn't get bored of
him, and is quiet enough a pet that her mother is happy.
