Jasper John Dooley

review 1: An elementary schooler has his turn to be Star of the Week in his classroom, but things don't quite go the way he planned them. I thought this book was really cute and perfect for kids who have recently transitioned to chapter books and like The Year of Billy Miller or Alvin Ho. Daniel did not agree... he found the lint collecting very strange, and did not like the wooden "brother." Read it for yourself and see which one of us you agree with (p.s. it had better be me!)...
review 2: A good selection for a child ready for a beginning chapter book, of which there are too few well written ones. The story takes the reader through Jasper's week of being "star of the week" in his classroom. There are ups and downs for him which include a show and tell day, a scie... morence day, and a family tree day. He begins to question if he really has what it takes to be "a star", but with the help of his family, friends, and teacher he triumphs and turns the week around. The cover states that this is Book 1, so I look forward to more adventures of Jasper John Dooley. This would also be good for a read aloud in first grade. The problems that Jasper encounters are problems faced by many first graders and it would lead to a worthwhile class discussion. less
