School Library Journal Review

Gr 5--8--Gray fox Ozy and red fox Millie spend a lot of time hanging out and thinking deeply. When not engaging in dry banter, the best friends find their way through many Millie-centric situations, like Millie's accidental ascent to popularity, time spent reading the dictionary, and fun with haiku. Ozy's adoptive dragon father, Llewellyn, and Millie's mom appear throughout the comic strips, as do raccoon brothers Avery and Timulty. In this second "Ozy and Millie" collection from Phoebe and Her Unicorn creator Simpson, humor feels contemplative, with many intellectual references. The cute and colorful character design is attention-grabbing and will appeal to the intended audience. However, even with the glossary, younger readers may struggle with the sophisticated vocabulary and dialogue-heavy strips. VERDICT Will appeal most to fans of the first book, but advanced readers interested in comic strips who enjoy animals, wordplay, and light shenanigans may enjoy, too.
