I thought the Baby Mouse: Cupcake Tycoon by Jennifer Holm & Matthew Holm is a graphic novel and is one of thirteen. The story is about a mouse named Baby mouse . She had a accident in the library which caused the books damage. Her teacher decided to have a fund raiser to help replace the damage to the books. She asked for all the students to get Involved selling cupcakes. At first BabyMouse didn’t want to help with it but when she found out that the winner will get a prize she changed her mi...more

This is the fifth book in the Babymouse series by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. The plot centers on Babymouse trying to find a date to the school Valentine's Day dance. She experiences a lot of frustration and mixed emotions over the prospect of inviting one of her classmates to be her escort. Her imagination runs wild, as usual, and she imagines herself in many different and fantastic scenarios. The cartoonish illustrations are filled with black, white and lots of pink and are typical for...more

Oh, but Duckie has asked Kathy Bear. And so on and so on. What is Babymouse to do?

This was such a girly book! Throughout the story (which was laid out sort of like a comic book), Babymouse has princess fantasies about being asked to the Valentines Day Dance at her school. She can't seem to find a date, until an unsuspecting friend asks her to join him. Overall, I thought this was a very good little girl book. Probably would appeal to the 3-5 grade students, because at that point, they know what a dance is, and the ideals that go along with it. The illustrations were very simp...more
This book was beyond cute. I personally loved this book because I like reading romantic and love novels. Valentines Day is near and babymouse is fantasizing about her prince charming coming to ask her out. I know this book would appeal to young pre-teen girls. This babymouse is full of spunk and definitely knows what she wants. This is very appealing to me, because this shows that girls can be strong and independent instead of weak and dependent. I think the author did a good job with making bab...more
This Babymouse novel was about Valentine's Day. Babymouse goes through all of the fairytales she knows and fantisizes about her prince charming asking her to the school dance. This little novel takes place in I would guess a middle school where you would see your typical clicks of mean girls, jocks, nerds, etc. I think that the comic book style of writting for this book is fun and it's nice to read something that is a little different than your typical chapter book. I think this book would be a...more
I thought this was a cute book, and it is definitely a book for girls. One of the many Babymouse series, it's about a mouse who wants to go to the Valentine's Day dance, but she can’t find a date. The storyline was funny, and its comic book style made it an entertaining read. I also liked the pictures. I found myself stopping to look at the illustrations before continuing to read because they give details about what’s going on in the story.
My daughter read this to me at bedtime last night. And, honestly, listening to her read a graphic novel to me is pretty entertaining with all the sound effects. And the constant phrase, "Typical." Babymouse is concerned with the Valentine's Day dance--will she get invited? Will she go? Will her fairy tale come true? Ahhh, the stress! My daughter loves this series--I'm just glad she found some graphic novels that she likes....
Fifth in the Babymouse graphic novel series, this book is sure to delight young female fans of the series. Like all the Babymouse books, it is illustrated entirely in black, white, and pink. Between indulging her complicated daydreams and avoiding the mean cat bully at school, Babymouse has to find a date for the Valentine's Day dance. When no one asks her, Babymouse eventually takes matters into her own hands and goes to the dance by herself--and finds a happy ending. While Babymouse appears sa...more
I loved this way more than I thought I would. Babymouse is adorably drawn and has the same issues as any 4th-7th grade girl might have. Who will ask me to the dance? Why is noone asking me to the dance? She eventually takes advice from her parents and goes to the dance solo. I will do a better job of recommending these to reluctant readers (or anyone) as they are more than JUST a pink comic book!
This is a great book for kids because they often are faced with the conflict of having a date for a dance or other school function. Babymouse was about to give up, but Georgie asked her to dance and it made her so happy. I love the black and white with pink pictures, it is very different from other children's books.
Not a pop culture reference ... but the scene where Babymouse is reading the magazine about how to get a boy to like you? And it tells her not to be too pushy so she practices "not calling him." And the narrator asks who and Babymouse doesn't even know.
Sigh. #mylife
The only thing. And it is a small thing. Elementary age kiddos don't need to be worrying about dates to dances!

Another fun adventure with Babymouse as she stresses out about finding a date for the school Valentine's Day dance. She learns the hard way that it's always best to just be yourself. As with the other Babymouse books, I enjoyed the banter between the narrator and Babymouse and other literary references.
Don't let the pink cover and Babymouse's penchant for cupcakes fool you. She is a mouse who knows what she wants and full of spunk. Funny, quick read of mouse enduring the battles of tweenhood. Start with the first volume in the series and then they can be read in any order. --Rachel and Elaine

I guess this wasn't a horrible read... I mean, it is what it is, but I'm not gonna jump to read the other ones in the series. Bo enjoyed it but she's 3 and doesn't quite grasp the finer nuances of great graphic novels for teens.
At least there was a tentacle monster living in Babymouse' locker...

Babymouse is sweet, and I'm sure my niece will love this for Valentine's Day. I sort of wish that the authors had shown that a girl (or guy) can have a good time at a dance without a partner, but maybe that's too much to ask for a Valentine's day graphic novel for kids.
This book was hard for me to read because I thought it was too immature. It seemed like it was based off the life of a 7th grade girl and all the issues they go through if they didn't have a date for the school dance.
I love the Babymouse graphic novels. They are easily accessible and great for readers that are reluctant to read. I like that this character is both funny and genuine, for a mouse.
This book was hilarious! I enjoyed it very much. I was never really the type to read comic books, but this book was really good. Children will enjoy this book and crack up reading it.
Another fun Babymouse, this time dealing with the school dance. Horror! I especially liked all of the new classmates that were introduced in the book.
Babymouse's class had a dance. It's so cute, at the end she dances with a giraffe. You will really love this book if you love talking mice!
Dirty dancing reference? This one wins hands down for my favorite pop culture reference in Babymouse!
Sometimes you have to look for romance in the place you would least expect... and most want.
Cute book! I can see why elementary-aged girls love this series, and the quote, "Typical."
Baymouse has no one to go to the dance with she gets hopeless then george the giraffe takes her.
"Nobody puts Babymouse in the corner!" What a hoot!!! Just adore this clever series.

IT IS A GOOD BOOK I LIKE IT BUT I DON'T THINK THAT ANYONE WILL LIKE THIS BOOK.
Babymouse rocks again in Heartbreaker! I just can't get enough of her!
I really don't like comic books but my kids insist on getting them frequently.
