In the newest Babymouse book, it's time to tackle that most beloved of school-related projects: fundraising. After Babymouse floods the library (by accident of course) the school needs to do a fundraiser to replace the damaged books. The fundraiser will be selling cupcakes, and the winner will get a special prize. Can Babymouse beat Felicia and get the prize?

Babymouse is still doing her best. This is about those horrible school fundraisers. They give out a prize for the most stuff sold and she wants that prize. She goes through a lot to get it too and of course her imagination of the prize is much better than what the prize is.
She is competing against her arch-enemy Felicia for top seller. Her imagination soars as usual. Her locker eats things and like in Babymouse land is the same as usual.
These are fun little stories. Only 5 left to go.

Babymouse is my favorite daydreaming, cupcake-eating mouse with questionable morals.

Loved the way Babymouse kept going, even when facing struggles and the way that she comes to a realization of the truth at the end. Plus libraries are magical places :)

I've read two or three Babymouse volumes for the Cybils and of them, Cupcake Tycoon by Jennifer and Matt Holm is my favorite so far. In this one, Babymouse and her classmates are fundraising to buy new books after Babymouse's accident while picking a book has resulted in a flood in the library.
In the other books I've read Babymouse doesn't put herself fully into her newest obsession. Usually her reasons for joining in the fun are rather petty or selfish. This time though she really is passionate about books and wasn't trying to cause all the damage she did. While there is a prize for the fundraising too, I think some of her motivation though is still on getting new books.
But like the other Babymouse books I've read, she has to compete. This time it's against Felicia Furrypaws who seems to have the entire cupcake fundraising industry in her back pocket. Her campaign involves outlandish things like radio ads, bus billboards and the like.
Babymouse though comes through not by conning her friends into doing her work and not by throwing a fit. In true screwball comedy fashion at her lowest point she ends up going viral. It's the round the world viral success of Babymouse's pleas for help that made me love the book. There are so many hilarious international pop culture icons and Easter eggs that I was roaring with laughter. My favorite is the panel showing the famous crossing in Tokyo with Pikachu watching Babymouse on the video screen.

I wanted to try one of the Babymouse books, and this happened to be the one that was on the library shelf. It's pleasant and entertaining, if not particularly deep, and I think I would probably enjoy the series more if I read them all in sequence.

This was super pink & cute but unlike Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll, not so overly sweet that it grated. It had a real story and was funny. It had a LOT of little jokes that could appeal to adults. I love the artwork.
