I love Alexis Deacon, and Slow Loris is my favorite of his books. Slow Loris is slow, and others find him boring, but he is unconcerned, for Slow Loris has a secret life. Late at night, while everyone else sleeps, he indulges in his crazy passion for hats and ties and drumming on pans. Once the other animals in the zoo find out, they join in, but you get the feeling that Slow Loris wouldn't care if they disapproved. Yeah, he might have enjoyed the company that night, but even if they never party with him again, Slow Loris will live his life the Slow Loris way. Slow Loris is my hero. You can't call him selfish - he welcomed everyone to his hat and tie party, after all - but he just does his own thing. I love him so much that I got that awesome behind-the-flap, wearing-commie-star-and-ear-flap, banging-on-pot-with-wooden-spoon picture tattooed on my arm. Someday I will be just like Slow Loris, only without the ties, as I find ties uncomfortable.
