Jasper & Ollie
By Willan, Alex
Two funny, unlikely friends - a thoughtful, deliberate sloth and an impulsive, 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 and visual story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals. It's a smartly paced, hugely funny celebration of our differences. Kids AND grown-ups will giggle as they decide if they're more of a "Jasper" or an "Ollie." It's also a great way to share the concept of "taking time to smell the roses" - a perfect lesson in our overly scheduled world.And look for book two from this exciting new author-illustrator, coming in summer 2020: Jasper & Ollie Build a Fort."Forget the tortoise and the hare, this tale of friendship between an unhurried sloth and a wild fox is a funnier version of those famous opposites, and one that will have kids wondering whether they're more like the deliberate Ollie or the frenetic Jasper." - ReadBrightly.com

Don't Worry, Little Crab
By Haughton, Chris
From the award-winning creator of Shh! We Have a Plan comes a vibrantly colorful story about mustering the courage to try something new.Little Crab and Very Big Crab live in a tiny rock pool near the sea. Today they're going for a dip in the big ocean. "This is going to be so great," says Little Crab, splish-splashing and squelch-squelching along, all the way to the very edge. Then comes a first glance down at the waves. WHOOSH! Maybe it's better if they don't go in? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton shows that sometimes a gentle "don't worry, I'm here" can keep tentative little crabs sidestepping ahead - and help them discover the brilliant worlds that await when they take the plunge.
