Babymouse, Heartbreaker

I thought this book was pretty good. I really liked how it had a consistent color pattern throughout the whole book. I think this way of illustration could be helpful to young readers still trying to figure out how to follow a story. This book would be best for aged 2nd I think, as it is not super difficult, but still too advanced for new readers in 1st.

my favorite of the series, Babymouse loves Valentine's day but soon finds out (as we all do) that this holiday can be cruel! But never fear because as with all books in the series, Babymouse triumphs in the end--
A charming and playful graphic series for young -and young at heart- girls depicting everyday problems--like how to survive sleepover camp and what happens when you don't have a valentine--in a fun and lighthearted way. GO BABYMOUSE!

I think this graphic novel would be good for mid-elementary students who want a break from thick novels and want something humourous and visual. In the graphic novel, Babymouse realizes that valentines day is right around the corner and is trying to fall in love and get a date for the Valentine's day school dance.

Babymouse is not a fan of anything relating to romance. But she loves sweets so she does like Valentine's day she just was unaware it involved romance and with the school dance coming up she is nervous about getting a dance partner. Babymouse asks every boy in school if they want to be her date, but they all have dates. The day comes around and Babymouse does not have a date. She is nervous and hesitant to be at the dance. But when she gets there her friend George compliments her and ask her to dance. This is a great book for children who are in the younger grade levels to any grade level to read because they will be able to make a personal connection with it. Often times school dances can be nerve-wracking because the last thing you show more want to do is to go alone, but in this case, Babymouse ends up having a blast. I would use this book during Language Arts along with an educational activity. show less

I am not a huge fan of graphic novels, but I found that this one pulled on my heart strings a bit. Every girl has had to go through the tragedy of not being picked for a team sport, not being invited to a party or not finding a date for the school dance. Babymouse is a confident, young girl who turns this experience around and encourages other girls to do the same. Although I am not a fan of the word bubbles and graphic images, this book does contain a very important message for girls.
Good reads is a website that reviews thousands of books for children of all ages. It is a good book review site because people can comment about the book underneath its review. I love looking at personal comments from people of all ages. show more grahttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/857669.Babymouse_Heartbreaker show less

This graphic novel takes you through the adventures of teen age Babymouse, a sassy, imaginative, sarcastic, heart and pink loving mouse. In this novel, Babymouse trys to find a date to the Valentine school dance and has to work through her first heartbreak when no one asks her--her solution? she doesn't need a date to go! Totally hilarious with a great independent female character. I recommend the whole series.

A school dance for Valentine's Day? Does Babymouse have to find a date? Her attempts to find someone who likes her while the illustrator provides the clues to who her Valentine could be makes for a very cute read. Encourages readers to look beyond the obvious.
