School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 Gr 1–4—Unlikely friends Sloth and Squirrel return for the second book of the series. It features the same fun interplay between Sloth's slow nature and the hyperactivity of energetic Squirrel, but this time they face the challenge of accommodating those differences over the course of a vacation. Ultimately, their goal is to spend some time together, but what ensues is an action-packed saga of missed connections against a rich backdrop of visual details. As Sloth and Squirrel just barely miss each other through the book, the background critters are having their own vacation fun. It makes for a book that can be enjoyed just for the surface story but can accommodate extra entertainment for eagle-eyed readers. Regardless, seeing friends care about each other and come together makes for a joyous storytime. VERDICT Cartoonish fun for early grades. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
