Meet Solly the Sloth: a cute, friendly sloth with a round fluffy body, big round glossy black eyes with white highlight dots, a pale cream oval face mask framing both eyes, a small rounded oval nose, small rounded fluffy ears, and a spiky fur tuft on top of his head. His long arms end in long curved claws, exactly three on every hand and foot. He always has a gentle closed smile. As you color through the pages, watch him grow: he starts as a little Baby sloth, grows into a Young sloth, and ends as a tall Big Solly. Only his size, fur length and claw length change.

Sloth fun facts for curious kids
- Sloths are the slowest mammals on land. They move so slowly that tiny green algae grows in their fur, helping them hide among the leaves.
- A sloth spends almost its whole life hanging upside down in the trees, even when it sleeps.
- Sloths are surprisingly good swimmers, and they can hold their breath underwater for up to 40 minutes.
- A baby sloth is called a pup, and it clings to its mother for the first few months of life.
- Sloths only climb down from their tree about once a week.
- A sloth’s long curved claws work like hooks, helping it hang safely from branches.
Creative ways to enjoy Solly’s sloth coloring story
- Read and color: read each page’s story line aloud before coloring its picture.
- Watch Solly grow: compare Solly on page 1 with Big Solly on page 18. Same sloth, much bigger, with longer fur and longer claws.
- Count the details: count the six leaves on page 19, the five butterflies on page 21, the four mangoes on page 23, and the six stars on page 24.
- Choose a color palette: give Solly’s whole rainforest day one color theme, from his brown fur to the green leaves.
- Tell the story back: ask your child to retell Solly’s day using the finished pages.
Talk about feelings while you color
Solly feels sleepy on his nap page, happy when he says a slow hello, and proud standing tall in the golden sunlight. While you color, ask: when do you feel sleepy? What makes you feel happy? What makes you feel proud? It is a good conversation starter for little ones.
