In this thirteenth installment of Babymouse series, Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon, Babymouse accidentally destroys a large part of her school library’s collection, and joins her classmates in a cupcake-selling fundraiser of epic proportions to raise money for new books. Like other stories in the series, Babymouse is initially foiled by her school nemesis, the popular (and apparently well-funded) Felicia, who out-advertises and out-sells Babymouse at every turn in pursuit of a mystery prize (oh, and books for the school, too). Delightful illustrations and witty allusions fill the pages of this familiar black, white, and pink graphic novel, making an amusing read for emerging and seasoned readers of all ages. The mix of panels, full page illustrations, and colorful banter between Babymouse and the narrator offer readers a dynamic and inviting space to explore comics and graphic novels, making Babymouse a successful introduction to the genre for new or reluctant comic readers. As for those wary of all the pink, Squish the green amoeba is introduced at the end, promoting his own graphic novel: Squish: Super Amoeba, released in 2011.

I read this while going to Cupcake Camp, so I feel Babymouse's pain. Babymouse might be Christiana in graphic novel mouse form.

The school library's fundraiser is selling Babymouse's beloved cupcakes and so plans of becoming a business tycoon fill her head.

Another great lesson taught in this Babymouse AND it is about libraries and books!

Selling cupcakes to benefit the library--love it. I forgot to mention that she caused major flooding to the library--but it all works out in the end as it always does for Babymouse.

I think this is my favorite Babymouse yet. It had me laughing out loud, and reading parts of it to my roommate. Gosh, I love Babymouse. And this one is about books and the library along with cupcakes. definitely a winning combination.
