內容簡介
個性雖然不同,但友誼萬歲!狐狸Jasper與樹懶Ollie是最好的朋友,有天,他們兩個決定要一起去游泳,Jasper決定要跟Ollie用競賽的方式,比賽誰先抵達目的地!
於是,Jasper使盡全力拚命衝刺,路途中撞上郵差、甚至跑得比冰淇淋車還要快,而Ollie則有自己的步調,聞聞路上的小雛菊、欣賞美麗的蝴蝶,還幫助可憐的郵差撿信。
兩個速度與個性完全不一樣的好朋友,會發生什麼樣有趣的事情呢?
透過Jasper與Ollie的故事,讓孩子了解,就算個性南轅北轍的兩個人,也能共享美好友誼。
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
