High in a Cecropia tree, deep in the rainforest of Brazil, Slothy the sloth spent his day hanging around upside down and moving very slowly. And that was okay—he had nowhere else to be. Everything he needed was right there in his tree.

One day, Slothy heard his friends playing in a pool of water below his tree. It sounded like they were having a lot of fun! But when Slothy tried to climb down to join them, he moved too slowly, and by the time he'd taken just a few steps, they'd already gone home for dinner.

Poor Slothy. He was just too slow. But the next day, as his friends played again in the pool, one of them called to him,

"Slothy, why don't you just let go of your branch and drop into the water?"

It was a brilliant idea! Would Slothy be brave enough to try it?

Come and listen to this darling story and discover fun facts about sloths in the rainforest and find out why Slothy's friends now call him Cannonball Slothy!
