Celebrating life in the slow lane. From photographer, zoologist, and sloth lover Lucy Cooke, here is a year of the irresistible residents of sloth sanctuaries in Costa Rica doing what they do best: sleeping, cuddling with their friends, nibbling hibiscus flowers, and literally just hanging around. The photographs are accompanied by captions and fascinating facts about sloths: Did you know that if two males encounter each other in nature, they will fight by exchanging (very slow) swipes? With their sly smiles, gentle expressions, and unhurried way of life, it’s no wonder sloths—and The Original Sloths calendar—are so beloved. Printed on responsibly sourced paper.

With their abundant fur, inscrutable expressions, and slow-going ways, sloths are cuteness personified. And when you pair them with the charming mini calendar format, it’s just over-the-top adorable! The Sloths mini calendar showcases these sweet creatures in full color and wonderful detail. Here are sloths nonchalantly nibbling hibiscus and jasmine flowers. Sloths peeking around trees. Sloths cuddling with their buddies. And lots of sloths— literally—hanging around upside down. Plus fascinating sloth facts: Did you know sloths have two extra vertebrae in their necks? This allows them to rotate their heads 270 degrees and graze without moving their bodies. Printed on responsibly sourced paper.

Combining Lucy’s adorable sloth photography with facts about the strange lives of the world’s slowest mammal and words of wisdom about slowing down, Life in the Sloth Lane is a mindfulness book like no other. Gorgeous images of sloths paired with inspiration on the joy of living slow from a medley of gurus from Thich Naht Hahn to Bob Marley and Paulo Coehlo.

“Cooke writes with a firm sense of authority and a loving irreverence that lifts these pages far above most real-life animal books and should make the inevitable umpteenth readaloud easy to bear” Publishers Weekly

This “sure-fire summer winner” (New York Times) is an uproarious tour of our biggest myths, mistakes and misconceptions about animals from Aristotle to Disney. As Nature’s most maligned creature, saddled with a name that speaks of sin and damned for its lazy lifestyle, the sloth gets a whole chapter. Discover how the early explorers thought the sloth was ‘the stupidest animal on the planet’ and why they were so very wrong.

“Endlessly fascinating” Bill Bryson

Say it with sloths! There was no sloth emoji so the Sloth Appreciation Society decided to make our very own iOS sloth stickers for you to add to your SMS messages. All proceeds are donated to the ZSL EDGE of existence campaign to save the critically endangered pygmy sloth.
