review 1: The illustrations are amazing. The story is cute, but there is a strange gap in the plot between the ice cream cart and the hang glider. "J. Otto Seibold's Top-Secret, Official, Subscribers-Only Explanation of Exactly Sloth Manages to Get Onto That Rainbow-Colored Hang Glider Near the End" included within a letter to subscribers does fill in the gaps, but it really just made it feel like they'd forgotten to include a couple of pages. Still, the story is very cute and I will enjoy reading this to my son. Sloth love.
review 2: This book requires a little bit of background knowledge about sloths and their habits. Just a little. Of course, since it's a McSweeney's book, it's got the quirk factor! If the story had been a little better, this would've been a five-star... more book for sure. I think it's hilarious, and it's got some humor for the grown-ups who read it, too. Sadly, the book's cover is designed to tatter quickly. It definitely wouldn't outlast a teething toddler gnawing on the corners. Now for the best parts: the illustrations are amazing, and they tell a story that is laugh-out-loud funny. Also, I've always wanted to win a shopping spree, so I could identify with sloth's, er, enthusiasm? less
