About this one
Olli wants to fish. Waffle wants to swim, dig, bark at a seagull and eat the sandwiches. This is a story about the surprisingly hard business of being patient, and about a friend who waits with you even when waiting is not his strong suit.
A hardcover picture book with thick board-style pages that survive being read at speed. Written to be read aloud in about seven minutes, which is roughly one bedtime.

Actually enjoyable to read aloud
The rhythm of it is good, which matters when you are on the fourth reading of the evening. My daughter has started saying "put the crab down" in a very particular voice.
