My worst Halloween costume ever? A member of the hip-hop group (I prefer “crew”) Kris Kross. What can I say? It was the early 90s and I was a fan. In later years I realized that the costume you pick says a lot about your personality. Pick a police officer? You’re trying to be cool. Pick a recently popular figure in the media? You’re trying to be funny. But that’s mostly just for guys. Girls have a whole other set of unwritten Halloween rules, and in “Babymouse: Monster Mash” we see how those rul

Trading in the typical pink-hued pages for bold splashes of orange, Babymouse is ready to celebrate Halloween! She and best friend Wilson are excited to make scary costumes and have a great party after trick or treating. But when mean and popular Felicia Furrypaws decides to attend Babymouse’s party, she sets up all sorts of rules, effectively trampling on all of her hopes for fun. Babymouse gets pressured into dressing up as something pretty and playing pranks on the neighbors. Young readers wi

This was a very cute little graphic novel. I picked up the Halloween one because I am a huge fan of Halloween, and I don't have very many holiday-themed books at my disposal/read library. This was very interesting. Instead of being a pink book, which it looks is the standard of Babymouse novels, this one is in orange! Very festive.
It talks about peer pressure and the wanting to conform. For example, for Halloween, Babymouse wants to either be a Warewolf, a Mummy or a Zombie. However, More...

Babymouse prepares for Halloween, but every time she tries to enjoy herself, mean cat girl Felicia Furrypaws is there to run the fun. Felicia Furrypaws tells Babymouse that girls have to wear pretty costumes (even though Babymouse wants to go as a zombie), that trick-or-treaters must coordinate their costumes (even though Babymouse hates dressing up as a fairy), and that Babymouse has to invite Felicia's friends to her party (even though Babymouse is pretty sure the girls are evil). But when th

Halloween is coming up for Babymouse, and she's planing to dress up as a monster. Felicia makes fun of her costume, but Babymouse doesn't care. So on the day of Halloween, all her friends are invited to Babymouse's Halloween party. So goes trick-or-treating with Felicia and Babymouse's Halloween is ruined because Babymouse doesn't like what Felicia is doing. Will Babymouse do the right thing and stop her?

I really like that this was orange instead of pink. I like the art and the humor is fun, but I don't know that I could really handle another pink volume. (I say this knowing the next one will probably be pink again, but it's nice to have a break.) We're not breaking a lot of new ground in this volume--Babymouse still bows to what Felicia Furrypaws says until she reaches her breaking point, and then goes back to being herself again. But it's cute and funny, so it gets points for that.

It’s Halloween and Babymouse loves scary costumes! She can’t decide whether to be a mummy, a zombie, or a werewolf. She is super excited about her Halloween costume party, but then Felicia hears about it and invites herself. Babymouse is again stuck between being herself and being what the ‘popular’ girls say she should be. If you haven’t experience Babymo More...

Love how the narrator and Babymouse interact. I like the eye trick and that Babymouse learns her lesson by the end of the book. Her imagination in this book - when she's sleeping or daydreaming - is well-drawn and funny and some of my favorites in the series, like page 41.

Quite cute! My 4 year old enjoyed looking at the pictures and we talked about some of the poor choices the "bad" girls were making. Love the fantasy sequences. Also loved that it wasn't really scary for a Halloween book!

Another great Babymouse, this time in orange! Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed. JK, it totally works for Halloween. I found the ending to be especially satisfying.

The main characters are Babymouse and friends. This book takes place at school. Babymouse and her friends decided to have a costume party. They all have to make some of the costumes.

When is Babymouse NOT good? I didn't like that mean cat making her do all those terrible things on Halloween she clearly wanted no part of.

One Sentence Review: I have yet to discover a Babymouse that didn't exceed expectations one way or another, and this book is no exception.

I wanted to call "plagiarism" since I'm sure the Babymouse character is based on one of my students.....(just kidding. It's a cute book.)

I always love a good Babymouse. I particularly relished the illustrations this time (maybe the surprising orange made them pop?)

Continuing the glory of Babymouse!
This once again tests Babymouse's desire to be "in" against her true self
