An endearing friendship story about two sloths who could not be more different...but whose friendship is all the stronger for their differences.
Graham Annable is an Oscar-nominated cartoonist and animator living in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, and two boys. When he's not huddled inside of his house creating graphic novels for early readers, he spends the rest of his time working on feature films, animated shorts, video games, and indie comic books. He's rather fond of hockey and sloths. But never the two combined.
"Thick lines, white space framing panels, and a large font make
this perfect for readers newer to graphic novels...[The sloths']
big expressions and body language perfectly complement the
dialogue's sweet, silly humor."-- Kirkus Praise for Peter &
Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths:
"The characters' different notions of adventure and bravery recall
other odd couple friendships, such as Mo Willems's Elephant and
Piggie and Holly Hobbie's Toot and Puddle."-- School Library
Journal, starred review "Annable's soft, expressive illustrations
juxtapose Ernesto's easy, optimistic joy with Peter's apprehensive
courage as they explore the world for the first time. Many readers
will look forward to the next adventure. A solid pick for readers
who have graduated from Elephant and Piggie, Frog and Toad, and
Narwhal and Jelly."-- Kirkus Reviews "Annable's gift for caricature
and zippy dialogue shines through, as he celebrates his characters'
contrasting temperaments without a hint of snark." -- Publisher's
Weekly "Annable skillfully communicates a message that will be
especially welcome to anxious kids―that sometimes small adventures
take even more courage than big ones. Readers will be eager to
reunite with Peter and Ernesto in the next installment of this new
graphic novel series."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's
Books
