Jasper & Ollie

Two funny, unlikely friends - a thoughtful sloth and an impatient fox - make their big debut in this hilarious new picture book celebrating friendship and the wonderful ways in which we|re all different.Best friends Jasper and Ollie decide to go to the pool. On your mark, get set . . . WAIT! As Jasper races ahead - crashing into the mailman, speeding past the ice cream truck - Ollie takes his sweet time, pausing to admire a butterfly, smell a daisy, and help the mailman pick up his letters! With a clever design that shows Jasper|s hectic rush compared with Ollie|s casual stroll, this hilarious story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals. It|s a smartly paced, hugely funny celebration of what makes each person special. Kids AND grown-ups will giggle as they decide if they|re more of a "Jasper" or an "Ollie." It|s also a great story to share the concept of "taking time to smell the roses" - a perfect lesson in our overly scheduled world.
