In honor of International Sloth Day, the Crown Family PlayLab is hosting an interactive storytime session with author Elizabeth Shreeve regarding her new book, The Upside-down Book of Sloths. 

In addition to this read-aloud, we will feature a virtual chat with a zoo educator at Lincoln Park Zoo to talk about sloth care and feature sloths from the zoo!
