Holm, Jennifer L. 2005. Babymouse: Queen of the World. Random House. New York, NY. ISBN 0375932291
This imaginative graphic novel has a few different stories embedded in Babymouse’s fantasies. Readers will recognize the Cinderella and Frankenstein stories. The illustrations are done with thick black lines and white and pink coloring. The thick black lines make the illustrations jump off the page and stand out from the text. The graphic novel format makes this an easy read for younger students as the pictures tell most of the story. In this story Babymouse learns that the old cliché, the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, is all too true. She wants to go to Felicia’s party and finally gets invited by allowing Felicia to take her homework as her own. When Babymouse gets there she is bored and finally leaves to go and hang out with her friend, Wilson.
