Childhood classic
I can remember reading this book and thinking what wonderful friends Sloth had.Now I read it to my little one and she still finds the magic in the story.

A funny and heartwarming story.
I think I went almost nuts when I couldn't find my childhood copy of this book! It was by far my favorite children's book and remains one of my favorite books now, some thirty years later. The story is charming and teaches children the value of true friends. The illustrations are delightful. I can't recommend this book highly enough--I wish I could give it 10 stars!

I loved this book when I was a kid and was so happy to recently track down a copy.It's about Sloth, who is a horrible housekeeper but is blessed with truly good friends who pull together and help him out at the end of the story.Almost thirty years later, it's still a story I would highly recommend to today's kids.

Wonderful Story

This collection is anchored in an African conception of children's rights and the law, and reflects contemporary discourses taking place in the region of the children's rights sphere. The majority of contributors are African and adopt an individual approach to their topic which reflects their first-hand experience. The book focuses on child rights issues which have particular resonance on the continent and the chapters span themes which are both broad and narrow, containing subject matter which is both theoretical and illuminated by practice. The book profiles recent developments and experiences in furthering children's legal rights in the African context, and distils from these future trends the specific role that the law can play in the African children's rights environment. ...

On April 20, 1999, Rachel Scott was eating lunch with a friend in front of her high school when she was approached by two fellow students with guns, shot four times, and killed. Her story is of a girl who refused to be average and instead, lived a life of purpose and compassion. In an essay assigned in school Rachel wrote, “Compassion is the greatest form of love that humans have to offer…I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” While she lived, Rachel strove to find the beauty in everyone and went out of her way to treat each person with respect. Her legacy challenges others to do the same. ... Read more

Excerpt: Narayan Sarovar Sanctuary -The sanctuary was first notified in 1981 covering an area of 765.79 square kilometres (295.67 sq mi). In 1992, the Gujarat state government's department of mining and geology pointed out that there were huge deposits of limestone, lignite (brown coal), bentonite and bauxite inside the protected area of the sanctuary and argued that the ban on mining in the sanctuary was holding back development of the local economy. An order dated July 27, 1993 of the Gujarat State Government initially de-notified the Sanctuary, by annulling the earlier notification of 1981 under which Narayan Sarovar had been declared a wildlife sanctuary. It issued a decree which abolished the original sanctuary and established a new one, consisting of 16 disjointed patches. This de-notification had reduced the area of the sanctuary from765.79 square kilometres (295.67 sq mi) to disjointed ribbons of land totaling only 94.87 square kilometres (36.63 sq mi) in favor of commercial mining interests.
