is it just me,
or is a ‘sloth activity’ book
an oxymoron
and probably incredibly slow and boring?

Activity books provide more things to do than just coloring. Mazes, Dot-to-Dots, Word Searches will keep you bored and happy for hours. Worth the time spent. ;)

Maybe there is a “Find Waldo” type activity in the book.
A picture of a hundred sloths slothing around and you are asked to find the slothiest sloth.
Your think?

But I love sloths. My calendar this year in my office had a sloth for each month. Do you think that’s why it took me longer than usual to get my WIP done?

Sloths are fascinating creatures vastly misunderstood. As a lifestyle it has its perks.
