Theodore The Sloth Who Wants to Race
J.L. McCreedy
Theodore yearns to RACE, to EARN his wins, to prove his WORTH.

The only catch?
Well, he’s a sloth, the slowest mammal ON THIS EARTH.
But that can't stop a dream.
With determination, a few good friends and a touch of science, Theo sets out to overcome his obstacles.
Join him on his (two-toed) quest for athletic glory!

Theodore, The Sloth Who Wants to Race is a rhyming, read-aloud story about grit, friendship and a humorous approach to defying stereotypes. Educators and parents will also appreciate the fun, educational content at the end of the story, thanks to co-author Dr. Sam (a former veterinarian).

Theodore the Sloth Who Wants to Race by Dr. Sam and J.L. McCreedy is about a sloth named Theodore who is different from the others - he has two toes instead of three and believes he's faster than the rest. Determined to prove himself, he dreams of racing and even trains for it. When no other sloth wants to race him, he challenges a worm instead. But when he thinks he’s won, the worm reveals it didn’t even know they were racing. Embarrassed and defeated, Theodore wonders if he’ll ever find the courage to race again. Will Theodore’s dream of racing ever come true?
