Fun for kids. Plus the lesson to always keep trying. Babymouse wants to win the grand prize for selling the most cupcakes which will help raise money for the school library. She seems to be thwarted and one upped on every turn. Her persistence and tenacity helps her each step of the way. Good lesson for kids.

In this thirteenth installment of Babymouse series, Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon, Babymouse accidentally destroys a large part of her school library’s collection, and joins her classmates in a cupcake-selling fundraiser of epic proportions to raise money for new books. Like other stories in the series, Babymouse is initially foiled by her school nemesis, the popular (and apparently well-funded) Felicia, who out-advertises and out-sells Babymouse at every turn in pursuit of a mystery prize (oh, and books for the school, too). Delightful illustrations and witty allusions fill the pages of this familiar black, white, and pink graphic novel, making an amusing read for emerging and seasoned readers of all ages. The mix of panels, full page illustrations, and colorful banter between Babymouse and the narrator offer readers a dynamic and inviting space to explore comics and graphic novels, making Babymouse a successful introduction to the genre for new or reluctant comic readers. As for those wary of all the pink, Squish the green amoeba is introduced at the end, promoting his own graphic novel: Squish: Super Amoeba, released in 2011.

I read this while going to Cupcake Camp, so I feel Babymouse's pain. Babymouse might be Christiana in graphic novel mouse form.

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

Another great lesson taught in this Babymouse AND it is about libraries and books!

Selling cupcakes to benefit the library--love it. I forgot to mention that she caused major flooding to the library--but it all works out in the end as it always does for Babymouse.
