Publisher Description:
Kyle has to go. There's just one problem: as a young three-toed sloth, he lives high in the rainforest canopy with his mom, and it's a LONG way down to the forest floor. Like other sloths, Kyle only goes down to the ground once a week when he has to do his "business." And he's never made the journey by himself before.

Kyle's mom says he's old enough to go alone, but Kyle isn't sure he's ready. It's so far And won't it be lonely? Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time to decide.

As he descends, Kyle's worries dissipate when he discovers he's not really alone. He encounters friendly neighbors like the red-spectacled parrot, whipsnake, tiger-legged monkey tree frog and leaf-cutting ant, all camouflaged in the canopy. With encouragement from his mom, he keeps moving -- and makes it just in time.

The book closes with two pages of informational text: one about three-toed sloths and the other about camouflage. Cut-paper collage art brings the rainforest canopy and all its many layers to life throughout this sweet, gently humorous story about new experiences and newfound independence.
