pick3 ⭐Normally, when I I think about Doreen Cronin, I think about click clack moo cows that type. Most of her books are fun and campy. This book is more serious. A baby sloth falls out of a tree and must wait for Mom to come collect them. But sloths are very slow. mama has the baby noticed the world around them while they wait.

pickSeven Blind Mice, by Ed. Young is a wonderful story that captivates negative space and color. There are many colors and shades within the book that create a fun and exciting environment.
“Knowing in part may make a final tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole.“
This book has a good source of light and dark. Having each page have a black background to emphasize the characters. This has a good theme about identifying an object as a whole instead of parts
