Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week

Adderson Caroline

At last it's Jasper John Dooley's turn to be Star of the Week at school. Unfortunately nothing turns out as planned. His Show and Tell falls flat. A new baby at his friend Ori's house steals his spotlight. And worst of all the new baby has only-child Jasper wondering if his own family is too small. When Jasper decides to build himself a brother (named Earl) out of wood Earl's schoolyard shenanigans send Jasper to the principal's office! But with a little help from family and friends things turn around for Jasper. And by the time Friday arrives he is once again sure that he has what it takes to be a star. Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week is the first in a series of chapter books featuring a charismatic and funny central character. An only child with active loving parents (and a most impressive lint collection) Jasper John Dooley is a true original.>
