Love the line: "Sometimes you have to quit to find out what makes you happy." So true! Much of childhood is trying things and determining priorities.
This book made me miss being a kid up north :(

I read this to Caleb poolside in Lombok. We both enjoyed the pictures. He enjoys differentiating between the pink pages which illustrate Babymouse's excellent imagination, and the normal black and white pages. He often asks, "Now, are we back to the real Part?" and I usually answer, "As real as a babymouse ice-skating can be..."
Some of the themes in this one struck home. Often my kids are awed by trophies, and the want to be the very best at something. In this graphic novel, Babymouse is applying herself to become the best ice skater--but it is a lot of work and a lot of time. She has to wake up early, she cannot spend time with her friends, and worst of all--she has to give up cupcakes! She perseveres for a time, but then decides that the sacrifices are not worth it. Her friends declare that she is the Best Babymouse.

It was cute. It’s a cute graphic novel to get you into the winter or Christmas spirit. A little girl, about 4-6, would probably enjoy Babymouse: Skater Girl.

Babymouse wonders if she has anything special until she discovers maybe she has a special ability with skating. But after awhile she wonders if all the sacrifices are really worth it.

The latest installment in the Babymouse series finds Babymouse taking figure skating lessons. Babymouse has big dreams of winning a shiny trophy and her coach thinks she has natural talent. But will Babymouse have what it takes to train every day before and after school? Will she stick with the skating if it means giving up CUPCAKES??
Another hit from the Babymouse team! Plus, the shiny silver snowflakes on the cover make this a PERFECT stocking stuffer for the young reader in your life.

I read this for the Olympics - so love. Babymouse has a natural talent - she can skate well. One day a coach notices her and invites her to join the skate team to win the gold medal. She wants the glory of gold. She quickly realizes being a serious skater isn't fun, it's hard work and sacrifice on a daily basis. There isn't much life.
She eventually figures out having friends and fun is more important. I really enjoyed this story and thought it was well done. It actually had a message and it was funny. I'm also glad it showcased Babymouses natural talent.
I'm glad I read this with the Olympics. It was a good choice.

This wasn’t my favorite, but it wasn’t the worst either.

Another installment of Babymouse. Cute and endearing as ever, still with an elementary-friendly (but subtly-delivered) message.
The books are really, really short, though, and I wonder if it would be better to combine (say) 4 stories into one book. On the other hand, 2 at a time is about my limit for the voice, so maybe these 10-minute volumes are just about right.
