In SLOTH THE
LAZY DRAGON, Regan W. H. Macaulay addresses the importance of diet, exercise
and living a healthy lifestyle in a very clever way. Children will gain a wonderful example of
the universal importance of kindness and helping others as well as dedication
as Sloth’s transformation takes three years of hard teamwork.
This story shows
the evolution of Sloth, an apt name for a fat and weak dragon living in the
bowels of a mountain on a mound of gold and jewels, as he transforms into a fit
and strong dragon able to have the energy needed to live an active and healthy
lifestyle, compliments of the help of a brave dwarf named Radish, also a clever
name for one offering lifestyle advice.
Radish offers to
help Sloth and does so by presenting him with many new food and exercise
options in his quest to aid the dragon in lightening his “girth” in order to
fly and live a healthy lifestyle.
Children will enjoy developing an awareness of new healthy food choices
as Radish brings Sloth items like nuts, fruits, vegetables, pumpkin, legumes, fish
and lean meat.
Ms. Zgud’s beautiful
illustrations have a whimsical feel that children will love and really bring to
life Sloth’s transformation from a fat and weak (Sloth) dragon into a fit and
strong dragon ready to fly and see the world beyond the confines of the
mountain.
SLOTH THE LAZY
DRAGON is highly recommended for children ages 4-7 and offers a clever way for
parents to address the importance of diet, exercise and living a healthy
lifestyle and will foster excitement in children to try new and different food
items as Sloth did.
