Critical Analysis
Jennifer L Holm and Matthew Holm are the brother and sister team behind the creation of the Babymouse graphic novel series. Babymouse is a fun character. She is witty, sassy, and full of attitude. The novel is entirely printed in black, white, and pink. Babymouse has a vivid imagination and the pink pages are used to highlight the scenes that are fantasy. Some examples are when she is sucked into space and pretends to be the captain of the spaceship, when she is at castle Weaselstein, or when her fairy godweasel turns her into Mouserella with a banana carriage (they were out of pumpkins). The black and white pages are used to show her everyday life or reality. Babymouse : Queen of the World! is set in a middle school and children will relate to the common themes of trying to fit in, popularity, and friendship. Its an easy and enjoyable read.
Babymouse is a 9 year old rodent who goes to school and plays like a regular girl. She has an active fantasy life that always gets her into trouble, making her late to class and dreamy when she needs to pay attention. We see her adventures along with her friend Wilson Weasel and archenemy, the popular Felicia Furrypaws. A fun easy read graphic novel.
