Bradly is a three toed sloth who travels around with his favorite stuffed anteater toy named Bob. Together they love doing all of the things that sloths like. But one day a sleeping misadventure lands Bradly and Bob in a new place with a new kind of sloth that only has two toes. What will they do in this strange new place with these strange new faces and toes? During Bradly’s adventure readers will learn about some of the things that sloths like and do. As well as how two different looking animals can have a lot in common and how new things, even scary ones, can turn out to be just as good as old favorites.

Few people in history have had as significant an impact on the shaping of multiple cultures as Christopher Columbus, the explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492 in search of a sea route from Europe to Asia. He has been widely admired throughout history for his persistence, courage, charisma, and impressive nautical and navigational skills, particularly considering his lack of formal education. However, he has been the target of significant criticism due to his perceived cruelty toward the native inhabitants of the islands he discovered, his ineptitude at governing the colony he founded, and his tendency toward dishonesty and manipulation of others when it suited his purposes. This book seeks to provide the reader with a balanced perspective of Columbus's personality, achievements, and far-reaching effects on cultures on both sides of the Atlantic.
