“I don’t move much, but I’m not lazy.”
Namekemono, the little sloth, does nothing but sleep up in the trees. He doesn’t take part in radio exercises, or picnics, or cleaning time. Everyone calls him “Lazy,” but he’s certainly not lazy. There’s a good reason for why Namekemono is the way he is. Another picture book from the author and illustrator of the popular picture book “I’m Not Moving,” featuring the stubborn (and very still) Shoebill as the main character.
