Holm, Jennifer L. and Matthew Holm A Very Babymouse Christmas 90 pages GRAPHIC NOVEL Random House, 2011. $6.99 Content: G. Babymouse is excited for Christmas and has set her eyes on the Whiz Bang electronic toy. She spends all day in line to talk to Santa about it and in her efforts to get a Whiz Bang she almost loses sight of the true meaning of Christmas time. On Christmas morning she wakes up to find her Whiz Bang, but she is unable to play with it because it doesn’t have batteries. She spends the day playing with her little brother and decides that the best part of Christmas is being with family. This book was all over the place. The narrator talks to Babymouse and it’s hard to tell where the storyline is headed because sometimes Babymouse is dreaming. It was confusing to follow and although the illustrations are cute, it doesn’t make up for the confusion. EL (3-6)-OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson
