<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> A child takes a sloth named Sparky as a pet. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> The ingenious author of <i>17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore</i> and a brilliant illustrator and production designer of the <i>Coraline</i> movie have created a hilarious, touching picture book perfect for young animal lovers. Like the Caldecott Medal-winning <i>Officer Buckle and Gloria, Sparky</i> stars a pet who has more to offer than meets the eye. When our narrator orders a sloth through the mail, the creature that arrives isn't good at tricks or hide-and-seek . . . or much of anything. Still, there's something about Sparky that is irresistible. <p/>Winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Jenny Offill is the author of <i>17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore, </i> a <i>Parenting</i> Magazine Best Book of the Year and a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, and <i>11 Experiments That Failed, </i> also a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, which <i>Kirkus Reviews, </i> in a starred review, called "the most joyful and clever whimsy."
