Slow Loris by Alexis Deacon

Slow Loris is a slow loris.  All the other animals at the zoo think Slow Loris is boring because he is

      very

             very

                     slow.

 All the visitors to the zoo this Slow Loris is boring because his is
        
                      very

                             very

                                    slow.

But Loris has a secret...

One night the other animals at the zoo learn Loris' secret and discover he isn't quite as boring as they thought.

One of my all time favorite picture books!  A short simple store paired with wonderful illustrations make this book perfect for picture book lovers of all ages.
