Plot

her missing pets? Follow Babymouse as she goes on a quest for the pet of her
dreams.
Critical
Analysis:
Certainly not an average comic book, a graphic
novel which is vibrant in color and dialogue; Babymouse is a new heroine and
her escapades are entertaining. The pictures are adorable and very full of
character. This book is a great addition to any bookshelf for classrooms, or private
collections. Kids will love the adventures of Babymouse.
