Jasper John Dooley: Public Library Enemy #1

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Mike Shiell. Jasper wants to find a book to make Molly, the dog in the library's new reading program, stop "frowning her head off." But the book he borrows to practice with falls into the tub and is ultimately ruined (hint: the oven is involved). Well-meaning Jasper's authentic guilt is rendered empathetically--and humorously--by Adderson; tidy halftone illustrations further endear him to readers.
