Sloth Gets Busy. A book about Feeling Lazy - Author Sue Graves

A fun and thoughtful story about responsibility, helping others...

Sloth is slow… and even slower when it comes to helping out. Whether at home or at school, he always finds a way to avoid lifting a finger. But when his laziness starts to affect his friendships and daily life, Sloth has to ask himself: is doing nothing really that fun? Can he learn that taking part, helping others, and doing his bit might actually be rewarding?

Part of the Behaviour Matters series, this engaging story gently introduces young children to ideas around responsibility and participation. The book includes helpful discussion prompts and activity suggestions to support emotional learning at home or in the classroom.
