Did you know, sloths are slow? Meet Lento, the three-toed sloth, and join him on an interactive journey to the colorful South American rain forest where he lives. Written by Kimberly Marino, an experienced licensed Speech and Language Pathologist, to assist in developmental areas not often covered in early books. Young learners will love engaging with this factual and playful book as they "work" on developing fine and gross motor skills, expressive (talking) and receptive (understanding what is said) language , and cognitive skills (counting and more). It’s an exciting addition to the preschool classroom, speech and language therapy bag, special education therapy bag, as well as physical and occupational therapists, and a must have for all who have, or work with, little ones! Recommended for children ages 1 and up!***A portion of proceeds are donated to GiGi's Playhouse of Long Island.
