## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Nicely illustrated, but a thin story, and even thinner paper
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2008*

The illustrations here are nicely done, but the story is a bit thin, even for 3-4 year olds. Another problem is that the paper stock used for the book's pages is very thin, and not very sturdy. This is a big problem for younger readers, since the book has one page that has a lift-up flap (a door that Loris is behind), and another page that folds out to reveal a larger scene. Because the paper is so lightweight, it is VERY EASY for kids to accidentally tear the door or the foldout page. (I have the paperback edition, so perhaps this is not the case with the hardback edition.)I took a chance on ordering this in part because it was so inexpensive through Amazon (around $7 when I ordered it). After seeing how thin the book and the pages are, though, I don't think it's worth the money.I recommend Deacon's other book, 
  
Beegu







  
  
    , which our children love very much. Beegu has better illustrations, and the book itself is of much sturdier construction. (I have the hardback version, but it only cost about $3 more than the softcover of Slow Loris.)

    The best from the best according to me.
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 26, 2015*

By far my favorite kiddo book, but sadly out-of-print!  Happily, my previously-loved copy of Slow Loris was in great condition.For those of you who are unaware: Alexis Deacon is amazing and so worth checking out.  In the onslaught of children's books that can range from mediocre to "I'm so sorry, honey, I think that book might be lost forever", Alexis Deacon is a beacon of light, water in the Sahara, a life raft to the drowning, etc.  There are other brilliant children's books--thank goodness!--but his are my favorite.A friend and I were recently discussing authors whom we would marry.  (Because why not?)  His choice was Karen Russell.  I asked what it meant that mine would be Alexis Deacon.  The response:  "We both have really good taste."  See?  Consensus.  Check him out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    My all-time favorite children's book
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 2014*

My all-time favorite children's book.  Slow Loris is a story about what one slow loris does when the zoo is closed and everyone is sleeping.  The illustrations are very unique - not like anything I've seen before.  This has been out of print for a while, so I was thrilled when I found it on Amazon.
