Description

From beloved author Kristen Tracy and the #1 New York Times-bestselling illustrator of Buffalo Fluffalo, Erin Kraan, comes a hilarious picture book about a socialable sloth who appreciates a good nap after a busy few days.

You may look at sloth and think she is lazy. No, no. You'd be mistaken. She is turbo-charged!

Don't blink. You'll miss sloth climbing very, very, very HIGH and very, very, very FAST.

Want to race through the forest? Sloth can set this place a blaze with her quickness.

But all that zipping and zooming can be exhausting. Yawwnnn.

If there's one thing sloth is even better at... it's getting a good day's sleep.

With laugh-out-loud humor, I Am Speedy is the perfect bedtime (or naptime) story for even the silliest little readers.

Don't miss these other animal confessions!
