Sasha wakes up early, ready to go for a swim with her best friend, Mr. Sloth. But Mr. Sloth likes to take his owwwnnn sweeett… tiimmeee to ready. Sasha is impatient as things delay her plan. Finally, she decides to swim alone but doesn’t enjoy it. She realizes swimming with Mr. Sloth is more fun than just swimming.

This is an adorable little book with a sweet message and wonderful illustrations. I love the detailing on each page and how easy it is to make a picture book inclusive without making it apparent. My favorite is the page where Sasha knits and reads and knits and reads when waiting for Mr. Sloth.

The font is neat and in a decent size. It is spaced around the illustrations, making it easy to read the story. Sasha’s expression sync with the text. She’s such a cutie pie! The story is a wee bit rushed towards the end, but the rest makes up for it. The moral is well-presented, with a touch of mischief and fun.

To summarize, Waiting on Mr. Sloth is a super cute book for little ones to sit and read instead of rushing from one place to another. ;)

I received an ARC from NetGalley, Capstone, and Capstone Editions and am voluntarily leaving a review.
