Theodore yearns to RACE, to EARN his wins, to prove his WORTH.

The only catch?

Well, he’s a sloth, the slowest mammal ON THIS EARTH.

But that can't stop a dream.

With determination, a few good friends and a touch of science, Theo sets out to overcome his obstacles.

Join him on his (two-toed) quest for athletic glory!

In this book, Theodore is faced with naysayers. They are constantly fixated on his potential problems rather than helping him find the solution. Thus, they fear risk, resist change, and hesitate to embrace new ideas. Furthermore they don’t seem to value that Theodore wants to be different.

I believe that this book would teach other kids that, although adopting new changes can be frightening at first, there are instances when those changes can also lead to wonderful discoveries. Furthermore, this book will educate children and adults alike on the value of making errors as a necessary component of learning.
My daughter likes that Theodore wants to try new things and my son likes that he keeps trying.
I think you will enjoy this heartwarming, funny valuable lesson as much as we did.
A bonus is the glossary and important facts in the back of the book!

Valuable lesson, heartwarming and funny story!
