The power of sloth

The Power of Sloth is Lucy Cooke's celebration of the sloth: the cutest, cuddliest, slowest creature on this planet.

In the book she brings together some truly adorable pictures of baby sloths, literally by the bucketful.

These delightful, funny pictures are accompanied by a simple text which tells you all about sloths and why we should protect them.

We also discover all about the work of the Avarios sloth sanctuary, which, along with the ZSL EDGE programme to protect the pygmy sloth, receives some of the proceeds from this book.

This book has been a huge success in the USA, where is was published under the title of The Little Book of Sloth, selling over 50,000 copies and making the New York Times best-seller list.
