About

When a series of unlikely accidents destroys his library book, Jasper John Dooley knows he's going to have to pay for the ruined book or they'll never let him back in the library again. Desperate to get back there and have a much-coveted turn reading to Molly the dog, he devises a clever way to earn money to pay for the book. In this engaging and entertaining story about a boy with a unique way of dealing with life's challenges, Jasper John Dooley's creative problem solving soon has the whole neighborhood reading … and eating toast! A great starting point for discussions about responsibility, owning up to mistakes and the importance of community.
