Babymouse #10 & 11 (Graphic Novels)

Babymouse The Musical (#10)
by Jennifer L. and Matthew Holm

Summary:

There's a new hedgehog boy at school who is way cute and Babymouse is coerced into trying out for a musical because of him. Only, she gets the part of understudy for Felicia Furrypaws - her arch-nemesis. When Felicia ends up getting a hairball during the performance, Babymouse gets her chance, but will she mess it up?

Review:
I have to say I love Babymouse. There's always a ton of references to either popular books or, in this case, musicals. Part of her day dreams involve "The Phantom of the Locker", Grease, and Annie. So adorable. I can see why these books keep flying off the shelf. They're funny, entertaining reads that kids can really relate to. Babymouse is the type of girl that always has bent whiskers and always ends up in a mess of some sort. Her catch phrase "Typical".

I like how the narrator of the story chimes in at times and has a conversation with Babymouse. These graphic novels are simple fantastic. This sibling team has created some of the best graphic novels I've read. I love the black, white, and pink theme in each book (or orange for the Halloween one!). I think Babymouse is a character anyone can relate to and that is why it appeals to kids so much!

Definitely a must-read.

Babymouse: Dragonslayer (#11)

by Jennifer L. & Matthew Holm

Summary:
Babymouse has been asked to join the Mathletes in order to erase some of her worst grades in Math class. Only thing is, she's not very good at math. Will she be able to gain enough math skills in order to help her fellow mathletes win back the Golden Slide Rule for their school?

Review:
Another fun adventure with Babymouse! There are a ton of awesome literary references in this graphic novel, including The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Lord of the Rings. Of course, Felicia Furrypaws is the Witch in that daydream. I have to say watching all of the fantasy daydreams was great fun. Again, you really have to laugh at all the daydreams that Babymouse has - what an imagination!

You're always rooting for Babymouse and she never seems to lack confidence for too long before bouncing back to her normal self. A great series for struggling readers and lovers of graphic novels.

Deifnitely a must-read!!
