Jeffrey and Sloth

By Kari-Lynn Winters and Ben Hodson

Jeffrey can't think of a thing to write, so he doodles instead, only to have his doodle begin to order him about. Jeffrey struggles with the situation until he discovers that the most strong-willed doodle is powerless against a well-told tale. Jeffrey and Sloth is bound to have children rushing for their colored pencils and their pens to see who and what they can create.

Reviews for Jeffrey and Sloth

[jyasinchuk_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Jeffrey needs inspiration in order to complete a homework assignment. His doodling leads to mountains and trees and an odd looking sloth-like illustration. But, little does he know that the sloth is going to give him more inspiration than he bargained for! Recommended for Preschool to Grade 1 level. A great tale for all of those young would-be writers!

Great premise, well-drawn (if a bit too trendy for me) and competently written, but somehow not a great book, just a good one. Perhaps it's too good an idea for little kids, who are after all used to having their creations come to life.
