Sloth sleeps a lot. His favorite thing to do is to take a nice, peaceful nap. But the other jungle animals are very busy and very noisy, too. Kangaroo is always jumping on her trampoline; Elephant is always lifting weights. However, Monkey finds out the hard way that he's no good at lifting weights, and Elephant can't jump on the trampoline very well. The animals learn that everyone does something best--and Sloth's best talent is sleeping!
