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.
