The Girl Who Sailed the Stars by Matilda Woods (review)

Jasper is a fox who’s always getting ahead of himself, and Ollie is his sloth friend who, like any sloth, takes his time to do everything. When Jasper challenges Ollie to a race to the pool, Jasper zips ahead—across the page, followed by orange dotted lines wherever he goes—and waits for Ollie, but panics when he can’t find him and pulls the pool evacuation alarm. Ollie eventually arrives on the screen with ice cream cones, and the two go to the beach instead (good thing, since everyone at the pool is annoyed). The illustrations comically alternate between Jasper’s frantic searching at the pool and Ollie’s meandering, casual voyage during their “race,” in which he stops to look at butterflies, smell flowers, get the mail, help a turtle paint a fence, and wait for ice cream. The only text is in speech bubble dialogue between Jasper and Ollie, which could make this a great two-handed readaloud. Willan uses warm, summery colors and soft edges and textures to depict Jasper and Ollie and their day, which in addition to the pool setting makes this a suitable pick for a summer read. Jasper and Ollie are an diverting pair, and kids will look forward to more of their adventures. NB
