Jasper John Dooley: Public Library Enemy #1

Jasper goes to the library and gets a book on things you can make out of toilet paper rolls. His friend Ori is with him. They check out their books and Jasper goes home. But, he was going to leave his book in the bathtub and it got soaked. So his dad put it in the library to dry it out! His dad always messes things up. They had to shoot it with the fire extinguisher because it caught on fire, and then they had to throw it away. So now Jasper has to try to earn money to pay for the book, like he sets up a toast stand and a “read-to-your-pet” stand, but they don’t work.

I like the pictures and I like the way Ori and Jasper work together to find things out. They come up with a good solution at the end. This is a funny and fun book about funny things that happen to a regular kid. It is probably written for someone younger than me, but it is interesting and fun to read.
