Holm, J & M. (2009). Babymouse. NY: Random House.
When the new student Henry Higgins encourages Babymouse to try out for the school musical, she finds herself the understudy for Feleica, the popular girl. When Felicia gets sick with a hairball, Babymouse gets her big chance to shine, but unfortunately, things end up crashing and going wildly wrong. This silly graphic novel is sure to catch the attention of younger students that are drawn to dramatic type cartoons and graphic novels. The language is easy to read and the characters are funny. There are witty songs (which younger students may not get) and the illustrations go a long way in adding to the humor of the story. Here's an introduction to the character of Babymouse, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPWcnSuYFoM .
