Reason for Reading: This book is a Cybils '10 nominees and as a panelist for Graphic Novels this is required reading for me.
It's fundraising time at school again, only this time they are raising money for books for the library that was recently destroyed in a flood (Babymouse!) and Babymouse is gloomy of the prospects of having every door slammed in her face with a hearty "No!" until she learns they will be selling cupcakes.

This book is one of the cutest books i have ever read! It actually made me go out and read more of them because they are so good. Babymouse rules the world, and is a sassy fun little mouse.The book is set up in multiple boxes on each page, as if it was a cartoon. The pictures are all hand drawn and very cute and silly. In the book Cupcake Tycoon,the school library is having a fundraiser to raise money for the school, and a giant grand prize is given out to the person who raises the most. With Ba

It's cute and funny. Babymouse wants to sell the most cupcakes in her class, but her enemy will do it all to beat her. They're competing for a mystery prize. Babymouse feels like a loser and thinks she'll never win when every house she goes to someone's there and her enemy as said before is in the news, billboards, and tv. Until she has a idea for a stand. She makes it and it's going great then it starts to rain and everyone skatters and she gets soacked. Well along comes a news reporter and see

One Sentence Review: Babymouse is the Liz Lemon of the juvenile graphic novel world and this is one of the stronger inclusions in her series (or maybe it's just that I love cupcakes so much).

Some Babymice are better than others. With that in mind, this particular Babymouse is one of the finer titles I've seen. When our be-whiskered heroine accidentally manages to flood the entire school library by accident, a fundraiser is called for. Babymouse finds herself in direct competition with Felicia Furrypaws to sell the most cupcakes for the school. The catch? Felicia has a marketing machine at her beck and call and Babymouse isn't exactly the world's most natural saleswoman. It all

I've read two or three Babymouse volumes for the Cybils and of them, Cupcake Tycoon by Jennifer and Matt Holm is my favorite so far. In this one, Babymouse and her classmates are fundraising to buy new books after Babymouse's accident while picking a book has resulted in a flood in the library.
In the other books I've read Babymouse doesn't put herself fully into her newest obsession. Usually her reasons for joining in the fun are rather petty or selfish. This time though she really i More...

I have to admit, this is my first Babymouse book that I have read. Who doesn't love cupcakes? The story begins with an accidental flooding of the library (gasp!). Can Babymouse make things right by being the top seller for the cupcake fundraiser to restock the library? Competition ensues. A very good story for kids to see that despite things happening, keep trying.

In the newest Babymouse book, it's time to tackle that most beloved of school-related projects: fundraising. After Babymouse floods the library (by accident of course) the school needs to do a fundraiser to replace the damaged books. The fundraiser will be selling cupcakes, and the winner will get a special prize. Can Babymouse beat Felicia and get the prize?

When Babymouse accidentally floods the school library, she must participate in a fundraiser to help rebuild it. But selling cupcakes isn't quite as easy as she thought it would be. Can Babymouse outsell the other students to win the mystery prize?
Awww, I feel the library love on this one. :) Another fantastic Babymouse book!

I did really like this one and the introduction to Squish at the end. This one was funny but I think it could have taken it even farther with how much Babymouse fantasizes about cupcakes. I think there were not enough daydreams on her part, but I did like the Indiana Jones one.

I think this is my favorite Babymouse yet. It had me laughing out loud, and reading parts of it to my roommate. Gosh, I love Babymouse. And this one is about books and the library along with cupcakes. definitely a winning combination.

Yet another adorable addition to the Babymouse graphic novel collection. Babymouse has to sell cupcakes to help rebuild her school library after disaster strikes. Pinky deliciousness.

The school library's fundraiser is selling Babymouse's beloved cupcakes and so plans of becoming a business tycoon fill her head.

This books was ok, not the best in the series. I think it needs more humor and events going on.

After Babymouse accidentally damages the school library, the school decides to hold a cupcake-selling fundraiser to restock. The constant rivalry with Felicia is here, along side of the two things Babymouse loves best. The unusual solution to her dilemma is very modern.

Babymouse accidentally floods her favorite place in school: the library. So the entire school has a competitive cupcake fundraiser to get new books, Babymouse is determined to sell the most cupcakes to win a special prize (oops, she means for new books of course!).

This edition is as cute as ever. All of these books are really spontaneous and all of these situations can happen in real life. Well done.
