Jasper & Ollie Build a Fort

Celebrate the wonderful (and hilarious) ways in which friends can be different in this laugh-out-loud odd-couple story. Best friends Jasper, a quick and feisty fox, and Ollie, a slow and deliberate sloth, decide to build forts in the yard. While Jasper´s enormous fort goes up in minutes (complete with a rock climbing wall, bouncy, castle, and moat), it´s Ollie´s humble fort that has what the pair need most . . . a place that they can share. This highly visual story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals, as Jasper´s increasingly frenzied building contrasts with Ollie´s more reserved and planned approach. 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." Which one are you? Parents will also appreciate the subtle lesson of mindfulness, told with humor, as impatient Jasper comes to understand that being first and fastest isn´t always best.
