description: The ingenious author of 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore and a brilliant illustrator and production designer of the Coraline movie have created a hilarious touching picture book perfect for young animal lovers. Like the Caldecott Medal-winning Officer Buckle and Gloria Sparky stars 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.Winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award
