Stowaway Sloth
by Carole Jerome

---

Oscar is not like all the other sloths in his tropical rainforest, who are called Osos Perezosos, or Lazy Bears. Oscar is adventurous, and with the help of remarkable friends like a blue butterfly, a green lizard, a vegetarian ocelot and a clumsy anteater, he sets out on a Quest to find his long-lost Uncle Francisco, and bring him home. Oscar stows away on a sailboat run by scientists who protect Nature. With them he has many adventures and meets the Arenal Dragon, Maritza Macaw and the Spice Monkeys, a fabulous Quetzal bird, and a new best friend, a valiant sloth named Olivia. The two sloths learn about dangers which threaten the rainforest, and how children around the world are helping to protect it and all the wildlife in it. The Stowaway Sloth offers youngsters a magical adventure, fascinating wildlife lore, and hope for the future.
