5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!, 9 Jan 2004
By Danielle Hall - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a beautiful book: both the story and the illustrations are scrumptious, yet it isn't cutesy (something rare and refreshing in a children's picture book). This is an unusual book which has sold well by reputation and recomendation, rather than because it was marketed or promoted strongly - another rare quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the coolest children's book ever!, 30 April 2005
By A Customer
What could be better than the secret life of a lonely creature, drawn and written to perfection in Alexis Deacon's Slow Loris. Who then becomes the hippest-'cat' at the party!

My 4 year old nephew loved it too - the hats, the instruments and the slow- slow movement of Loris through the day.

Read it, also the others by Alexis Deacon. Fantastic!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and beautiful, 20 Jul 2002
This review is from: Slow Loris (Hardcover)
I think this book is really special. The story is funny and unusual, a clever idea that means thinking about why animals might behave in the way they do. Loris has a secret night life which explains his daytime exhaustion. I'd never heard of a slow Loris- it was nice to discover a new animal. The illustrations are wonderful, containing so much life and humour, and make you look again and again. The pictures of all the animals together are lovely, their body language and expressions are perfect. I'm seriously looking forward to seeing this illustrator's next book.
