Holm, Jennifer L. and Matthew Holm. 2005. Babymouse - Queen of the World! New York, NY: Random House. ISBN: 0-375-83229-7.
Meet Babymouse - a spunky mouse with a bow in her hair and a pink heart on her dress. With imagination galore, she turns one boring school day into a plethora of action-packed fantasies. Written in comic form, Babymouse's antics are easy to follow. Lively black and white ink illustrations with a few pink touches sketch a picture of Babymouse's school day while stylishly pink backgrounds with heavy black borders capture Babymouse's assorted giant squid, cowgirl, and space explorer fantasies, among others. In her quest to befriend snobby Felicia Furrypaws and clinch an invitation to an exclusive slumber party, Babymouse learns a valuable lesson about being true to one's self. The narrator, at times, serves as another antagonist to Babymouse, adding a little more depth to the humor. This simple read will delight many a fan of the funnies!
