不一樣又怎樣！
他是橫衝直撞的小狐狸，
偏偏他的好朋友是動作慢到讓人受不了的樹懶，
兩個截然不同個性的動物湊在一起，
會發生什麼逗趣又滑稽的故事呢？
他是橫衝直撞的小狐狸，
偏偏他的好朋友是動作慢到讓人受不了的樹懶，
兩個截然不同個性的動物湊在一起，
會發生什麼逗趣又滑稽的故事呢？
樹懶Ollie與狐狸Jasper是一對不太一樣的好朋友。Ollie動作緩慢、總是深思熟慮，Jasper則老是急匆匆的，橫衝直撞。
某天，Ollie與Jasper決定一起去游泳。Jasper像閃電一樣一路狂奔，撞倒了郵差、超越了冰淇淋攤車，Ollie卻是一派悠閒，邊走邊逛，有時駐足欣賞美麗的蝴蝶飛舞，有時嗅一嗅路旁芬芳的雛菊，甚至還停下來幫可憐的郵差撿信！一前一後，速度不一的好朋友就這樣錯過彼此，接下來該怎麼辦呢……？
逗趣、充滿活力的插圖是本書最大賣點。樹懶Ollie的散步路線非常悠閒，但鏡頭一轉到Jasper，書中利用三個水平分隔線描繪出他的蹤跡，讀者還可以沿著虛線追蹤Jasper跑上跳下的瘋狂路徑，立體而又有趣。
Jasper and Ollie樹懶與瘋狂狐狸之間的故事，讓孩子透過閱讀了解不同個性的朋友也能擁有美好的友誼，只要是朋友，不一樣又怎樣呢。（文／博客來編譯）
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
