review 1: On the surface this book seems a little wacky, and it is that, but on a deeper level, it's actually kind of sweet. The theme of the book is new beginnings. The main character is struggling with all the change around her (she is now in middle school) and learns throughout the book...

review 1: Just read this book. I didn't even plan on reading it. It just came back through the library and it caught my attention, so I started reading it and couldn't stop. I put it down on my desk and every time I got a second I'd read a few more pages. What an incredible way to write...

review 1: Loved it, but I agree the ending is a bit of a blindside for an unsuspecting child reader. It felt like an end was untied with Slow Poke, as well. That said, I loved the characters - especially The Diaper Gang, who were absolutely hilarious...especially in how they got their nic...

review 1: I liked this book because it captures the essence of what the holidays are supposed to be about. We read about all the holidays different families celebrate and things to be thankful for. Yet, babymouse only seems to care about the Whiz Bang she is dreaming about for Christmas. S...

review 1: More good graphic novel stuff from Jennifer Holm--I expect nothing less! Squish is by far less "girly" than Babymouse but it's great for everybody. It's fun and funny and Squish himself is a likeable amoeba.That fact that the main character is a middle school aged amoeba is fun...

review 1: Honestly this is not one of my favorite graphic novels. The illustrations are not that impressive and I did not get much of the humor in this story. This is not a rich text but it does follow some sort of plot. Even though it is slow moving there are some good messages about not ...

review 1: By far my favorite Babymouse so far. I laughed throughout the whole thing. The musical theater references were absolutely brilliant, and while there is a great deal that kids might not pick up on, that what makes Babymouse one of those kid books with adult appeal too. It's kind o...

review 1: I loved this Babymouse story! Poor Babymouse is recruited onto the math quiz team after receiving an F- on a test. She is a self-proclaimed failure at math (and the narrator agrees). How will she ever survive? This one is full of fantasy story allusions - The Lion, the Witch,...
