AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Archie is a little sloth who is very energetic. Archie loves to leap and swing and dance about! However the other sloths eventually tire of his busy antics and ask him to leave. Archie leaves and discovers some new friends who are also different in their own special ways. But Archie still misses his sloth friends.

'Acting on some sage advice from an elephant Archie returns home to find his friends in danger. Will his fast-thinking and fast-action ways save them? Will they ever accept his difference?' (Publication summary)

— Review of Archie – No Ordinary Sloth Heath McKenzie , 2016 single work picture book 'Archie is a sloth unlike other sloths. While all his family and friends like to…well…sloth – he likes to be active. He tries everything to make the other sloths active – tickling, attaching ropes to limbs to turn them into marionettes – but he just ends up getting told to go away. Silver lining though – in the deepest, darkest corner of the jungle Archie finds a whole bunch of new friends – others who are different to those in their groups. As Archie heads back to his own group, he discovers a way to use his uniqueness to save them all. ...'
