Strange smells, lamp
crashing in the middle of the night, and a head of cabbage mysteriously rolling across the
living room floor! These are some of the strange happenings in the usually
normal Potter house after nine-year-old Julie returns from a visit with her
aunt and uncle. Julie is very resourceful in finding ways to hide her new pet,
Sampson, a giant two-toed sloth, in the house right under the noses of her
parents, which makes for a hilarious story.
When I was a child, remember
reading a very funny story about a girl hiding a pet sloth in her house. That
was all I could remember. With some research, I found a title, Julie's Secret
Sloth, and bingo! I knew that was it! How exciting to find this book on interlibrary
loan, when I couldn't remember anything about it except that Julie's mother is
puzzled when she finds long gray hairs in the bathtub.
