About this item
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.
