I’ve been buying Babymouse books for a young pre-teen with a slight reading disability and the books have gotten her to really take an interest in reading. That alone is enough to make them worth five stars.This particular book has Babymouse taking up ice skating and having to learn to sacrifice some of her favorite things to succeed – there are a tough skating teacher, a ban on cupcakes, the loss of her friends, and plenty of grueling work. Does she have the drive and concentration to succeed and is it worth it? Babymouse isn’t perfect and learns some lessons that are important for her and her readers and the book isn’t preachy about it.Another good book in a delightful series.
According to my daughter is should have stated previous events that had occured, the ending left her feeling like it wasn't really over. We purchased this book on her Kindle it felt so incomplete that she thought there was some of the book missing on the electronic version, so she checked it out from the local library and realized that was simply how it ended. My daughter loves the series,however this one did not feel complete to her.
Good for both 8-yr old and 6-yr old. Funny but not scary, as clearly humorous. Keeps kids busy reading and off television. Given the pink covers, probably good for boys, who would probably be ok with the Squish series.
These are great graphic novels for young girls. My daughter (age 8) reads them over and over. My son (12) and husband have even been caught sneaking a peek at the breakfast table. My daughter gave this as a birthday present and the birthday girl was thrilled!
The kids just love these books and can't wait to read more! I am a teacher and have used these with students between second to sixth grade; however, the concepts can be a little confusing for an average second grader. The Holms siblings really capture the imagination and concerns of a young child and portray the stories in a cleaver and humorous way. I highly recommend any Babymouse book as they definitely are a worthwhile purchase!
This is one of my favorites of the Babymouse books, because while Babymouse, as she always does, throws herself into ice skating, she also learns that even if you can make it to the top, it doesn't always mean you should. Her dreams of Olympic (or even local) skating stardom start to fade with her early morning hours and, oh no!, the fact that cupcakes are forbidden. We (and the author/illustrator) alternately cheer her on and laugh gently with her as she falls on the ice and grapples with a very tough instructor. Babymouse is always adorable, and here she learns a lesson that is a very important one for kids and even winds up with a very special trophy all her own. Perfectly done, will make kids cheer not for a perfect 10, but for a perfectly imperfect Babymouse.
Babymouse: Skater Girl is a funny book filled with imagination. My favorite part is when she remembers that for a spelling bee, Babymouse only spelled the word "the" correctly. I recommend this book for readers for all ages. You will love this book.
Daughter wasn't a big reader when she was younger and these books were PERFECT to grab her attention. Calvin and Hobbes great too! Love Baby Mouse!!
