Let me tell you... this is an absolute riot from start to finish! As the second volume in this delightful graphic novel series, it's packed with fun, laughter, and plenty of quirky fox shenanigans that had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through.

Joining Ozy and Millie on their whimsical escapades is an absolute treat. These two fox children are as adorable as they are mischievous, and their hilarious antics kept me entertained from the first page to the last. From navigating cliques to inventing new games, there's never a dull moment in the lives of Ozy and Millie.

What truly sets this graphic novel apart is its unique blend of humor and heart. Simpson infuses each strip with a witty charm that will appeal to readers of all ages. Whether it's Millie's ingenious excuses to avoid homework or Ozy's loyal friendship, there's something for everyone to love in this book.

And let's talk about the art, shall we? Simpson's illustrations are an absolute delight, perfectly capturing the whimsy and humor of the story. The expressive characters and vibrant colors leap off the page, drawing you into their charming world with each turn of the page.

But beyond the laughter and hijinks, "Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal" also touches on important themes of friendship, creativity, and embracing your uniqueness. Through the ups and downs of their everyday lives, Ozy and Millie remind us that it's okay to be a little different and that true friendship knows no bounds.

If you're looking for a fun-filled adventure with some adorable and quirky foxes, look no further than "Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal." Trust me, you won't be able to put it down! I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages who are in need of a good laugh and a heartwarming story.

“Ozy and Millie #2: Perfectly Normal” by Dana Simpson is a collection of comics about two foxes.

Ozy and Millie are best friends. Ozy is the one with the crazy thoughts and excuses to get out of homework. Millie is there to ground her. This time around we meet more of their friends, and we get to check in with Millie’s mom and Ozy‘s dad, who happens to be a dragon.

These are older strips from, the creator of Phoebe and Her Unicorn, and they’re perfectly great for kids. A collection like this is great for seeing how an artist progresses, and Dana Simpson‘s humor is on full display here.

I found this very delightful for children. Ozy and Millie are so cute and illustrated so nicely. Having it be a group of short clips makes it easy to hold a child's attention. The author really relates to children. I can hear my granddaughter in some of the clips. I highly recommend this book to children ages 5-9. Parents can also read it and relate in trying to interact with their child in some of the clips.

As a big fan of Phoebe and her Unicorn, I was excited to see this earlier work of Dana’s in a collection. It was funny, had a spark of what I love about Phoebe, but I see where improvement has come in and made Dana a better writer since.

I was waiting for a super funny and ironical and unique story. But, unfortunately, I just received a worst version of Mafalda.

It's kinda funny, the draws and how the balloons are made is super pretty. But just that. The characters are not so cool, I didn't care about the story at all too.

Brainy and cute but uneven cartoons about school aged nerdy foxes navigating school, life, growing up, and other life stages. The comics were better when they strayed into absurdity than when they tried to have peanuts or Big Nate-style plots. And for some reason the main character's hat bugged the heck out of me!

This book was cute and fun, but lacking something.. I felt like some of the conversations didn't match the middle grade age. I love the Phoebe and Unicorn series and was hoping for something similar.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect of it, but it ended up being quite funny. So many of the panels made me laugh, and this was a good thing. These two friends have a lot of fun times together, and their families are truly one of a kind. This might not be a book for everyone, but some readers are sure to enjoy it.

I received an electronic ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing through NetGalley.
Simpson's duo are back in book two. It's a joy to see these two friends navigate life. Readers see them interact with schoolmates and friends along with Ozy's dad and Millie's mom. The humor happens on so many levels that readers of a variety of ages and abilities will connect with these situations. The artwork is so much fun to study - especially Millie's expressions and body language.
A refreshing look at life as seen by these two young animals.

Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal is a delightful series of comics that are funny and a hoot to read!

Sometimes you just need a great, comedic set of comics in your life: This was it. I needed a pick me up and, honestly, this book did the trick! It's fun, it's sweet and it moves fast enough to keep your attention. Plus, the illustrations are phenomenal! It takes me back to the 90's cartoon shows that I loved in my youth (in a good way, of course). Colourful, cartoon-y and comedic (a little alliteration for you).

This book gives you an introduction if you haven't met Ozy and Millie before, so you don't need to worry about needing any background! I'm glad there was a bit of an intro just so I knew what was going on and who I was meeting. It was a pleasant surprise! It's nice going into a story and being given the information to catch you up (in case you missed anything).

Then the story comes along! There's lots of comedy packed in the comics to make you smile and/or giggle. Kids and adults will enjoy this series for sure!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Cute st0ry with cute comics. I love Ozy and his dad, they're both fluffy cinnamom buns <3

I just wish there was a clearer division between one story and the other, because sometimes there are multiple pannels about the same segment, and I got confused some moments not knowing if the story in one page was complementing the one on the page before or was a completely new plot.

As established in my review of the first Ozy and Millie collection, I am a huge fan of Ozy and Millie. I may or may not have lost my mind when I realized the new comic series I was enjoying, Phoebe and Her Unicorn, was by the same author.

Because OF COURSE she would create both sets of adorable awesomeness.

And this collection is even more fun, and whimsical, than the first. We finally bring in Avery, the raccoon desperately trying to be popular, along with his little brother Timulty, who is the most amazing example of a little brother in any work of fiction ever.

With common running gags such as different version of Tag, Ozy and Millie singing "the blues", and even some amazing puns thrown in, there is so much for kids to enjoy, as well as comics where kids are going to get a little cross eyed trying to understand it. But the good news is, no matter how confusing the first three panels are, the payoff in the last panel?

Totally worth it.

We absolutely loved Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal. I loved the glossary at the end that helped my 8 year old learn and retain a bit more from the story that was delightful even without this bonus. Kids ages 7 and up will enjoy the story and the artwork.
If possible, it has been requested that Millie get actual glasses in the next book.
Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this ebook! #netgalley #danasimpson #OzyandMillie

Thanks to NetGalley for access to this ARC! "Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal," is a sweet story told in a unique style. The illustrations give off a "vintage" cartoon vibe as you follow along on the adventure.

*Disclaimer I received a free copy of this book for a honest review, this will not affect my thoughts or opinions on the book*

I really enjoyed this book a lot, I thought it was a very nice fun read for anyone. I loved the humor that was presented in the book. I also enjoyed how each small mini story were all somehow connected to the last mini story and to the next mini story. The illustrations were also very nice and well done they reminded me of the old school comic strips in a good way. Overall I would rate this a 3.5 rounded down.

Millie is the kid to hang out with, I tell you! She is WILD! And her ideas and adventures are fantastic. I loved this book. It was so cute, and fun, and uplifting. I have no words. I just want to read more about Millie and Ozy. Fabulous. And good job, Dana Simpson!

I have enjoyed Dana Simpson's work for years, and was grateful for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book through NetGalley. I had never read the original Ozy and Millie book, but I had no trouble getting into this story, and quickly became acquainted with the characters and their story world.

Many of the comics made me laugh out loud, and others made me smirk. A significant percentage of them involve the characters' philosophical reflections and questions, and this element made me think of Calvin and Hobbes. People who enjoyed that comic series will probably enjoy this as well. This book also name-drops various philosophers and scientists and includes a biographical list of them in the back, along with Simpson's usual glossary of vocabulary words.

However, this series is not quite as connected with the real world as the Phoebe and Her Unicorn books. I personally prefer the human slice-of-life elements in Simpson's other series, but the different books complement each other well, because the author does unique work in both story worlds. I would definitely be interested in reading future books about Ozy, Millie, and friends.

Dana Simpson is the author of the fantastic Phoebe and Her Unicorn series, which my daughter and I love. But Phoebe and her Unicorn is not her first comic strip - prior to that, she wrote Ozy and Millie, about a pair of foxes. My daughter wanted to read this, and she wanted to review it. Here is her review:


It was a great book and I enjoyed it very much! The book was exceptional and I wanted to keep reading until if finished it! The fact that Ozy’s father is a dragon is funny! I think that the person who wrote this book is a very good author and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

I didn't realize the author was the same author as "Pheobe and her Unicorn" till I read the introduction to this book. Both are very cure comics suitable for children and adults alike. I've known the comics of Ozy and Millie through some comics website, and didn't realize there books for them. I think the eccentric nature of these comics and their humor would really suit adults as well, because some of the characters especially the father would appeal to adults more than children. Overall, I really enjoyed this collection.

I thank Netgalley for the digital ARC

This incredible clever and hilarious book is beyond your regular book for children.

Millie is an amazing character - wild, funny, with love for proper spelling and grammar, and with some very crazy ideas. I'd love to be her friend :D

Even the gothic font that Ozy's dragon parents use to speak is so on point!

I loved the glossary at the end, perfect to help kids build vocabulary. But I think that adults would enjoy this just as much as kids would. I mean, Kant and philosophy (mentioned briefly, but still) are not really topics for young children.
