Jasper John Dooley: NOT in Love

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Ben Clanton. This third Jasper John Dooley book explores boy-girl friendships. Jasper is not too keen on his playdate with Isabel, but it turns out she has an awesome trampoline. She also, however, has a crush on Jasper and stages a pretend wedding for them. Adderson handles the premise with just the right softness for young readers, and Clanton's pleasing black-and-white illustrations capture the pair's sticky dynamic.
