This week we are reading Jasper & Ollie, by Alex Willan. It’s about two unlikely friends—a thoughtful sloth and an impatient fox- who decide to go to the pool. But they both get there in different ways and at different times. Jasper the fox races to pool, but can’t find Ollie the sloth when he gets there. Ollie takes his own sweet time – smelling a daisy, helping the mailman, and getting ice cream. This book has a fun split/screen effect, so we can compare Jasper’s hectic rush with Ollie’s casual stroll. These two eventually come together, but decide racing is NOT for them!
After we read it, we’ll vote on this book in each class.
