REVIEW: Babymouse is a “sassy young mouse” who
laments the monotony of everyday and dreams of glamour, excitement and
adventure and being the Queen of the World! But she isn’t Queen of the World,
or even Queen of the School… That title belongs to Felicia Furrypaws who just
happens to be having a sleepover and Babymouse is dying to get invited.
OPINION: Printed in pink, black and white, this is quite possibly the cutest graphic novel I’ve encountered. Cuteness aside, Babymouse is a very likeable character with a big imagination and inquisitive nature. It seemed like a fantasy version of The Dork Diaries, but in a really good way.
IDEAS: Babymouse would be a great introduction to graphic novels for young girls for inclusion in a graphic novel display. It could also be included in a display along with books like Dork Diaries and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
