Sleepovers aren't for sleeping?

From debut author-illustrator Blythe Russo comes a delightful and heartwarming friendship story that is also perfect for bedtime.

Sloth is invited to her first sleepover at her best friend Paloma's house and even though she doesn't quite know what to expect, she's very confident in her sleep skills. She's an expert when it comes to napping, dozing, or catching some Zs, so she's ready to excel at sleepovers too.

But when she arrives, she finds out that Paloma wants to stay up all night! Will Sloth be able to keep her eyes open or is their friendship in for a rude awakening?

At its heart, Sloth Sleeps Over is a story of togetherness, and is sure to leave readers and their best pals grinning as they snooze the night away.

Bright and cheerful.

Review quotes

The narrative tone nicely balances compassion for poor sleepy Sloth and cheeky irreverence for the whole situation . . . little ones are sure to still be giggling about snoozing Sloth. - The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
