Babymouse wants a pet. Unfortunately, it's proving a little more difficult to get one than she'd hope. While she dreams of a dog, her parents won't let her have one. Then, her fish dies. After that, she gets a hamster - but she loses him. She then loses a host of other pets including ferrets and turtles. Clearly, pets aren't in the cards for this little mouse. As luck would have it - Babymouse finds a dog! Unfortunately again, the dog she finds turns out to be a handful. Just as Babymouse comple More...

I was searching the school library for graphic novels and saw this among the ones left. I have really wanted to get my hands on one of these to see if my students in 2nd grade would like them and whether it would be appropriate content. Well I read it while the students checked out books and the kids gathered around while I read it and laughed out loud several times. So there was definite interest even by the boys.

The pictures are cute in white and pink and the words for the most par More...

I chose to read this book because I'm making a concerted effort o read more "girl's lit" and you can't get more girly than books with pink covers! I also read this book because there is a HUGE Babymouse contingent in my Children's & Adolescent Lit. class. People who love this book really LOVE this book. The good news was that the book wasn't horrible at all. the bad news was that I can't honestly say that I love the book as much as my classmates do.

There were definitely More...

I can definitley see why my second graders (and so many other students) love the Babymouse series. The books are in an easy to read format, very cartoon like. Also, they're thicker, so my little ones think they're reading "big kid books." The wacky humour and silly plot make the book a favorite of early readers. Girls are especially drawn to them, because of the color scheme, amoung other factors. However, I am a stickler for "quality literature" in kids hands. This series do More...

Erin rated it:

A great graphic novel for girls; even the cover is pink. I like how the narrator talks to Babymouse and makes commentary on her choices. That definitely adds another layer of humor into the story. Babymouse is kind of - not obnoxious - but maybe high maintenance, but she does end up putting a lot of work into her pet only to be disappointed in the end; she is a likeable character and I found myself sympathizing with her quite a bit.
This probably hits the upper elementary crowd and would More...

This is the first book in the Babymouse series that I've read. I figured I'd wait to see if our girls wanted to read this series, but when I volunteered at our oldest's third-grade classroom during reading time, one of the girls I read with chose this book. It was a fairly entertaining story and I thought it was quite humorous that Babymouse's pets kept taking off and hanging out together. The storyline was somewhat predictable, but not overly annoying and I'm sure we'll be reading more of th More...

Babymouse loves dogs! She really wants one as her pet but her mom says no. She Babymouse goes to buy other pets, but every time she buys a pet, the next day, the pet disappears! One day, Babymouse finds a dog, it had no collar, so she took the dog home. Babymouse was allowed to keep the dog until she found the owner. So she trained the dog really well. Will the dog go back to it's owner?
I picked this book up because it was short and I could finish it in a few minutes.

For elementary kids Heard good things about this series. It was okay. Babymouse, who has a bad track record of keeping pets, finds a dog. She takes care of it, trains it, and seems to do everything right. Then loses the dog. Not sure whether this was to teach kids that no matter how well you do, you may still not get what you want. Or (because this was the first Babymouse book I've read, that she's frequently the punch line. I'd give the series another shot. It was cut the way classic literatu More...

Babymouse is back, and she has a bit of a dilemma. She really, really, really wants a dog. Seeing as how her last pet-owning experiences haven't turned out so well, though, mom isn't having any of her pleas and begging. Sure, you could feel sorry for Babymouse, but you have to admit that the belly-up goldfish, escaped hamster, runaway turtle, disappearing ferret (need I go on with the salamander, hermit crabs, Venus Flytraps, or sea monkeys?) have m More...

Babymouse: Puppy Love is about Babymouse's goldfish dying. But Goldie 4 hid under the bed and Babymouse didn't know she was there. So Babymouse looks for other pets, but they hide under the bed too! Like Hammy the hamster and Tommy the turtle and a whole lot more. Then she finds a puppy she thinks is abandoned so she tries to take care of it until they find the dog's trainer. Babymouse has to learn to keep track of her pets. You can check this out at your local library and I think you will reall More...

I love Babymouse! So reliably delightful, filled with humor and silliness with bits of lessons sprinkled in and allusion after allusion to (other) great stories.

The only reason Babymouse only gets 3 stars from me is I read too fast so it goes too fast - thus it doesn't have the sticking power for me to fall in love more. It's wonderfully rich cotton candy I can depend on, every time.

I loved this book because its so funny and Babymouse is so cute and sassy. I love how the book is mostly on dogs! Because I love dogs. Babymouse is hilarious in ALL of her books.

I recommend this book to kids ages 8 to 11 because it could be too easy for older kids and too hard for younger kids.

Babymouse by Jennifer Holm was ok. I really didn't even like the drawings of the characters in the book. At first I was a bit confused about the narrator talking to babymouse. It's funny when the narrator is sarcastic to babymouse. The story is really about babymouse finding a pet for her to take care of.

Whitney rated it:

My favorite part of this book is that Babymouse's imagination takes her into classic literature. Babymouse is so popular that many children will be exposed to those stories and might consider reading them themselves.

Very funny, but so true for how easy kids think it is to take care of animals. I hope she can get a dog just for her own since she did (supposedly) phenomenally well taking care of the dog that wasn't hers.

There was on panel in this (graphic novel) that asked "Is this a chilrdren's book?". That was one of the questions that I asked. It was a little strange didn't really know what the story was about.

Another fun Babymouse, this time with puppies! I must admit, though, that I was sad about her uncreative pet names! C'mon, Babymouse! You can do better than that!

While I did laugh outloud at many of the snipets of this book, the overall plot did not leave me heartwarmed & pensive like many of the Babymouse books.
