Gr 2-5 -Several things are clear about Babymouse, as evidenced from the cover art -she -s adorable and she loves pink. Luckily, as further pages reveal, she is also smart, spunky, and a tad sarcastic. In "Our Hero", Babymouse must face her greatest fear -dodgeball. Felicia Furrypaws has the quickest throw in school and targets a certain mouse. Babymouse must also tackle her second fear, math. In "Queen", she tries everything she can think of to get an invitation to Felicia Furrypaws -s slumber party. Meanwhile, she avoids her mouse-eating locker, dreams of being a queen (whose idea of luxury is a plateful of books), and solves a mystery. Finally, handing over her homework results in the coveted invitation, but the party doesn -t turn out as she had hoped. In both books, the hilarious black-and-white illustrations are splashed with pink. Babymouse has a distinct voice and is a real charmer." -Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA"Copyright 2006 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Gr. 4-6. This energetic comic by a brother-sister team (Jennifer's " Our Only May Amelia " was a Newbery Honor Book) introduces Babymouse, a young rodent possessed of an admirably gender-bending array of interests and plagued by typical school traumas. The main confrontation takes place on the harrowing battlefield known as the dodgeball court, the site of an earlier trauma for Babymouse. At the end of a furious match, arrogant class idol Felicia Furrypaws (a cat, of course) gets a satisfying comeuppance and Babymouse faces her fears. Free-wheeling pink-toned illustrations admirably catch all the action. (Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.) -

Living in a Walter Mittyb like dream world, sassy, smart Babymouse--the heroine of these graphic novels for young readers--faces daily challenges (missing the bus, dodgeball, popularity). Each challenge brings its own accompanying daydream, rich in pink hues and dramatic overtones. New readers will appreciate the familiar situations, humorous asides, and easy-to-digest plots; the graphic format is easy to follow.(Copyright 2006 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
