Profile Picture

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?
