Pleasantville was a great city to live in. Suzie the Sloth had heard about sloths being robbed by monkeys, but it seemed unlikely that the monkeys did it without being provoked. Besides, as her parents had been telling her since birth, to be a sloth means to live defensively. She simply couldn't expect to have the same quality of life as a monkey. Then the day came when she experienced robbery for herself, and her illusion of equality among all animals was forever shattered. With a charming style and age-appropriate metaphors for youth and witty, sometimes biting comments for adults, The Scared Little Sloth is a relevant story for 2018 that will appeal to all ages.
