Another installment of Babymouse. Cute and endearing as ever, still with an elementary-friendly (but subtly-delivered) message.

The books are really, really short, though, and I wonder if it would be better to combine (say) 4 stories into one book. On the other hand, 2 at a time is about my limit for the voice, so maybe these 10-minute volumes are just about right. ( )

This book is about Babymouse and her dream of skating. She goes to the rinkk everyday. A coach sees her and asks to have her on his team. She now trains everyday and soon to be told she quits.

The first winter special for babymouses great exciting adventures

The latest installment in the Babymouse series finds Babymouse taking figure skating lessons. Babymouse has big dreams of winning a shiny trophy and her coach thinks she has natural talent. But will Babymouse have what it takes to train every day before and after school? Will she stick with the skating if it means giving up CUPCAKES??

Another hit from the Babymouse team! Plus, the shiny silver snowflakes on the cover make this a PERFECT stocking stuffer for the young reader in your life. ( )
