* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Occasionally the principal of the school will drop in and tell the class they're the laziest bunch she's ever seen. Of course, given that they're all sloths, this is a compliment.

* SluggishSloths: The sloth residents of Sleepy Valley Sloth School spend most of their time sleeping, and have poor academic scores as a result. Sparky on the other hand is a subversion of the trope, being quite out-going and proactive, and she tries to convince the other sloths to do the same.

''Score One for the Sloths'' is a 2001 picture book written by Creator/HelenLester and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger.
The students of the Sleepy Valley Sloth School are absolutely slothful and completely content. So when a new student, Sparky, arrives and tries to inject a little energy into their routine, they push her away. However, then a visitor from the Society for Organizing Sameness arrives to close down their school, and only Sparky can save it.
!!This book includes examples of the following tropes:
* FunWithAcronyms: The boar comes from the Society for Organizing Sameness, or the S.O.S.
* GenkiGirl: Sparky has much more energy than the others and gets herself rejected trying to raise their interest in activities. Naturally, this means everyone turns to her when they need to do something to save the school.
* GoToSleepEnding: The book ends with the class, including Sparky, taking a nap after successfully convincing the boar that he doesn't need to close down Sleepy Valley Sloth School.
* MeaningfulName: Sparky brims with vim and vitality.
* SleepCute: The book ends with all the sloths curled up for a nap in a single hammock.
* TalkingInYourSleep: To "show" the boar their expertise in poetry, Sparky tells the others to recite "The Way of the Sloth." They've known it since childhood and can recite it while sleeping, so they do.
