In this early-reader graphic novel, an odd couple of sloths ends up traveling the world as Peter, the anxious homebody, worriedly follows the restless Ernesto when he sets out on a voyage. The adventure is epic, but a muted, cool-toned palette and matter-of-fact humor absorb all extremes. Large, thick-bordered panels complement the accessible text, and the long-armed, goggly-eyed sloths are charming.
