A collection of comics featuring Millie, a fox, her mom, her best friend Ozy, also a fox, and his father, who is a dragon. They wax philosophical, play ridiculous versions of tag, cook up crazy schemes (well, mostly Millie does), and their parents put them in their place with some well-timed lines.

I love the way that Millie’s mom and Ozy’s dad can subtly crash Millie back to earth half the time without her even realizing what they are doing until her plans are thoroughly foiled. (My favorite part series was Millie declaring she was going to vanquish Ozy’s dad on the principal of ridding the world of evil…his response is comic gold.) Ozy is a good friend for Millie, usually keeping her from going off the deep end, providing food for thought, and providing distractions at key moments. A very fun comic that will appeal to middle grade on up (I doubt younger than that will be able to understand what is going on half the time as it’s a very witty and smart kind of humor). Recommended to fans of comics like Calvin & Hobbes.

No content issues.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

That was a delight to read. :)

Millie, an unusual for and her friend Ozy are quite a pair. Millie is quite unique, she thinks and acts quite differently and Ozy is her partner in crime but also grounds her. They have the best/most out there conversations on everything, from the universe to everyday life. You never know what you'll get on the next page. :)

Written as a graphic novel, it's a quick read, with a whole lot of little adventures and deep thoughts.

I was drawn to this book because it is by the author of the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series which is very popular at my school, but for me it was a throwback to reading Calvin and Hobbes when I was a kid. The references to philosophy and history did it, as did Millie's penchant for menace (at times). This was a great comic to read while watching the snowfall around me.

This book looked super cute before I picked it up! Once I started reading it really reminded me of the different comic collections like the Catana Comics! This was super fun and enjoyable!

This is a delightful graphic novel/cartoon book for kids. I think all five of my kids would get a kick out of it, from my 9 year old to my 22 year old. The two main characters are foxes who are best friends (and kids) who have lots of deep but slightly ridiculous conversations on everything from the nature of the universe to appreciating snow more because it's not everyday. It reminds me at times of Calvin and Hobbes. Ozy and Millie have a very sophisticated vocabulary (there's a glossary in the end), which is wonderful compared to so many books that dumb themselves down for kids. One of the foxes has an ancient dragon for a father, and he's hilarious too.

Love it, love it, and I'll now be looking into getting some of the author's other books for my kids.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

By the author of Phoebe and her Unicorn (actually, these predate Phoebe and Heavenly Nostrils...oops), this collection is about a pair of foxes that are best friends. Ozy i the voice of reason and Millie the carefree dreamer. Navigating situations from being suddenly, inexplicably cool to dealing with their parents, Ozy and Millie have fun with their friends and get into some mild hijinx. A definite read if you like Phoebe! Great for both kids and adults who still enjoy a bit of magic in their lives.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for my copy of Ozy and Millie: Perfectly Normal by Dana Simpson. It publishes March 2, 2021.
I had the help of an 8 year old and a 6 year old in the reading and reviewing of this book. This book was very readable for the 8 year old, and the 6 year old was able to read most of the words with some help! They are big fans of Ozy and Millie and this book fits right in with the rest of the series. The pictures are well-done, the comedy is there!
This would make a great gift!

These comics are so funny! This is a book that will have both kids and their caregivers laughing. It has the same warm feeling of a Calvin and Hobbes.

I didn't know this web comic existed, but now I'm glad I do. The adventures that Ozy and Millie have are adorable and the two of them seem to balance each other well. Plus other characters, such as their parents, were great voices in the comics as well. I loved the art style and how vibrant the colors were. These comics are great for all ages and I do really enjoy that they included a glossary in the back for younger readers to learn about words they may not know and people mentioned.

This book was received as an ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am familiar with Dana's work with Phoebe and her Unicorn and I am familiar with Ozy and Millie from our young patrons that are huge graphic novel enthusiasts so when the opportunity came to me to review this ARC I had to jump at the chance. The illustrations were just brilliantly done. They are very cartoon-like which is a factor that made Dana's books so popular and enjoyable and our young readers definitely take notice of that. The story and the dialogue were very hysterical that my stomach hurt a little after I finished it. This book will sure be popular at enjoyable amongst our young readers.

We will consider adding this title to our JGraphic Novel collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I’ve read all the Phoebe and Unicorn books and those are all great, so I had high hopes for this collection. I was very disappointed. Millie is obnoxious, Ozy is weak, and the plot is too heavy. They discuss things that aren’t funny and don’t reach amusing conclusions. I thought this was supposed to be a collection of humorous comics. I found this tedious and boring.
The dad dragon is quite amusing and the younger raccoon was hilarious. They were the only reason I finished. I kept hoping for more from them.

This is the second volume of a Graphic Novel series of Comic Strips about two fox children and their everyday life. These comic strips are fun, hilarious and kept me entertained the whole book. I couldn’t put it down. The adventures in this book highlight morals with a funny twist.

The art style is beautiful and fit the text and story perfectly. The theme was consistent throughout and both plot and illustrations flowed smoothly from start to finish.

I loved this collection of comic strips and would love to read more. I would recommend this to all those who want some fun, funny adventures with some cute, quirky foxes.

I gave this book 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

Dana Simpson has long been a favourite author in my classroom and for my own children at home. We absolutely love Phoebe and her Unicorn so when the first Ozy and Millie book came out it was a no-brainer to grab a couple of copies for home and my classroom library. I am please to say this book lives up to the first one in what we can only hope will be a long series. My students are pretty divided along gender lines with Phoebe, but everyone loves Ozy and Millie - a definite win.

Fun story and easy to read! New characters for the kids to meet and the story is great. Twists and turns, laughter...has all the good components of a good book!

This book is a comic collection featuring two foxes, Ozy and Millie. Ozy is the “straight man” to Millie’s troublemaker/jokester role. Millie’s mom handles her daughter’s wackiness with a deadpan sense of humor, even when Millie tries to bribe her mom for $20 in exchange for not straightening her paper clips. Ozy’s adoptive father is a dragon named Llywelyn who invents fun things like a “borange” just so there’s something to rhyme with “orange.” This book had me laughing out loud many, many times. Pick this up today! You will be ROFLing!

I loved Ozy and Millie : Perfectly Normal. I read it to my 4 year old son and we enjoyed the story and the illustrations were fantastic - These make the book appeal to both adults and children.
I especially loved the glossary at the end of this book making it educational as well as a fun read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for my ARC.

I've loved Ozy and Millie pretty much since the webcomic first began, and I'm thrilled to see they have another collection so more people can fall for their sweet friendship and charm. Dana Simpson is such a wonderful creator, she makes characters that you want to be friends with and be a part of their lives, whether they're off on an adventure or just sitting under a tree discussing the (not-so-)banalities of life.

These all ages comics are perfect for kids, especially reluctant readers, but can easily be enjoyed by adults as well. What a perfect way to share reading time together!

Thank you very much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for my review copy.

This author does such sweet comics. I’d read the first volume of the Ozy and Millie strips so when I saw this second volume listed a galley to read and review I asked for it right away! Her comics are a sweet look at the brighter side of childhood without being too saccharine for an adult audience. I’d cheerfully recommend her to any adult who hasn’t lost touch with their inner child completely as well as to her child audience.
I also really recommend you try her Phoebe and Her Unicorn comics if you haven’t. They don’t take long to read and they’re pretty charming too!

I loved this as a webcomic, and I adore it even more rereading in this bound edition. The addition of a glossary and list of notable people at the end has me dying to gift it to several children of my acquaintance.

Ozy and Millie are the perfect mixture of humor and clever thinking to be relatable to both children and adults. Highly recommended.
