Babymouse Puppy Love By: Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm- Graphic Novel

Babymouse Puppy Love By: Jennifer L. Holm
And Matthew Holm- Graphic Novel

This was a really funny graphic novel. I did not think I was going to really like reading a graphic novel because all I could think about is Pokemon books and things like that. However, this book really caught my interest. This book was about a little mouse who really liked pets. The mouse started out with a fish and the fish ran away, so he got another fish and that fish ran away too. So the mouse would go by the pet store everyday and look at the pets. The mouse had so many pets like turtles, birds, and etc and all of the pets escaped. All of the pets the mouse got from the pet store escaped from him and were all under the mouse bed. One day the mouse wanted to get a dog, but Babymouse mother told him that getting a dog would be a big responsibility. Babymouse know that he would have to take care of the dog, but his mother was not sure Babymouse was ready for a dog because what had happen to all of the other pets. Babymouse never did get the dog, and he never found the animals under the bed. Babymouse mother decided to stop buying Babymouse pets and Babymouse would just go look at pets in the pet store and not buy them.

This was a really cute book; however, it was a little long so I would not suggest this as a read aloud unless you read a few pages each day. This book could be use to teach students responsibility because Babymouse was not responsible when taking care of all of his pets. This book could also be used in a book flood, because I know some students would find this book interesting to read.
