Our Hero (Babymouse #2)

5P

This book can be explained by Radical Change. The principle of changing formats is expressed in this book - it is a graphic novel for transitional readers.

In "BabyMouse: Our Hero" BabyMouse complains about walking to school, math class, art class, music class, lunch, gym, etcetera. She especially hates dodge ball which she is forced to play in this book. I love the ending of this book, but will not give it away. BabyMouse is touted as being sassy.

According to Urban Dictionary sassy means "possessing the attitude of someone endowed with an ungodly amount of cool." I think a more appropriate description of BabyMouse is whiny defined by Urban Dictionary as "a person prone to complaining." I also am not a fan of the illustrations in this book. I like the use of pink, but I generally find the style to be rough and sometimes difficult to interpret.

BABYMOUSE imagines herself as a hero thinks she so great except, she is not the best student in school. This book is good for people who like silly comics!

This is a graphic novel that is part of a series. It portrays a mouse named Babymouse who does not like to go to school. Everything is such a big deal with her.

pepper the story where Babymouse imagines all the great things that could happen to her and sometimes…do! Readers will love her plucky attitude and laugh at her daily struggles. Highlighted in her beloved pink, action filled black and white illustrations comically present Babymouse wherever her imagination can take her. The jam-packed layout of each page provides more pictures than text, encouraging the reluctant reader to turn page after page. Babymouse is a sassy and sarcastic youngster who really wants to save the world…remembering her sneakers to wear in gym class might help though. With sixteen books in the series (soon to be seventeen) readers can look forward to pulling Babymouse off the shelf again and again.

I love Babymouse's imagination and that she tries no matter what. She might stumble along the way and find school really boring (no one is perfect), but she never gives up!
