The ingenious author of17 Things I’m Not Allowed to Do Anymoreand a brilliant illustrator and production designer of theCoralinemovie have created a hilarious, touching picture book perfect for young animal lovers. Like the Caldecott Medal-winningOfficer Buckle and Gloria, Sparkystars a pet who has more to offer than meets the eye. When our narrator orders a sloth through the mail, the creature that arrives isn’t good at tricks or hide-and-seek . . . or much of anything. Still, there’s something about Sparky that is irresistible.
