April Pulley Sayre’s wry, quirky storytelling tone shines from the warning on the first page (“This is a SLOW book. Do not read it while surfing, water skiing, or running to escape giant weasels.”) right through to the end notes. In between, readers will explore an astounding variety of information about all things slow—in nature, geology, art, outer space, etc. Throughout, The SLOWEST Book EVER playfully encourages readers to slow down and savor everything. As Sayre shows: “If you think slowly enough, the entire world is amazing.” This innovative nonfiction work is a treasure trove of information that begs for multiple readings.
