A Very Babymouse Christmas

Babymouse has only one thing on her Christmas list this year. It's a Whizbang! This thing does everything from playing games to text to even math homework! And Babymouse will do anything to get one!

From writing Santa for the device to attempting to win one by decorating her locker
for Christmas- Babymouse is putting out the word that she really wants a Whizbang
for Christmas. 

In the meantime, Babymouse will learn of new holiday customs such as her best
friend Wilson's celebration of Hanukkah. They get 8 days of presents! But before the
holidays are over will Babymouse learn the true meaning of Christmas? 

This was a very cute and fast holiday graphic novel read. This book covers quite a few
holiday traditions as well as pay tribute to several holiday classics such as A Christmas Carol; in which Babymouse dreams that she is Scrooge because all she desires is that
Whizbang.

Babymouse often gets lost in her daydreams. And while these moments are very funny,
the reader sometimes also gets lost with her. The fantasies of Babymouse just happen
without any warning. Sometimes it happens right in the middle of the action. And until
you figure out that this is just Babymouse dreaming, reader's just can't figure out what's
truly going on here. 

One element that I thought was really clever was the interactions between Babymouse
and the creators of this series; the brother and sister duo of Jennifer L. and Matthew
Holm. Those moments add an element of whimsy to Babymouse that's rather delightful.

A Very Babymouse Christmas was a charming holiday story that reader's 8-12 should really love. It's quite festive and
very pink. (That's Babymouse's favorite color!) Being the 15th volume in the Babymouse
series, this a a great introduction to a mischievous and imaginative character that young
readers will want to return to time and time again. Just be aware that Babymouse's
imagination gets away from her sometimes.

Worth Consuming!
