Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—While the familiar pink, black, and white color scheme makes various appearances on a page, a panel, or even a dragon, the Holm siblings instead choose bold outlines and an expanded palette for this picture book prequel to their popular graphic novels. This Babymouse, dressed in red footie pajamas, may be younger and smaller, but her creativity and mischievousness loom just as large as always. Unable to resist the tasty cookies that were supposed to be left for Santa, Babymouse decides that baking cupcakes will get her back onto his "nice" list, which will hopefully lead to a suit of armor under the tree come Christmas morning. When she is left alone to watch the cupcakes cool while her mother tends to her baby brother, impatience and imagination kick in. Squeak's cries turn into a dragon's roar, and a mighty battle to protect the cupcakes ensues. VERDICT The same buoyant fun of the graphic novel series can be found here, connecting younger children to what is becoming a beloved classic character.—Joanna Fabicon, Los Angeles Public Library

4.0 out of 5 stars Babymouse's Adventure with Christmas Cupcakes
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016
You should see Santa's face when he sees the cupcake which Babymouse made and left for him!

So, Babymouse wants to make something delicious to leave for Santa. Cake, tart, pie, tuna casserole? Mother Mouse helps Babymouse make cupcakes for Santa and goes and takes care of the baby.

Babymouse decides to frost the cupcakes all by herself. Can you picture that?

Somehow a dragon shows up, and Babymouse defeats the loud dragon with cupcakes!

There's one cupcake left for Santa, looking a little worse for wear.

Children will enjoy the humor in this story.

We're sure the story is good; my daughter (now 10) and I (Dad) have been reading Babymouse together for three years. The problem is that this product is advertised as readable on all device. We wanted to read it on our iPad, but even after downloading the most recent up-date (5.5) we got the message that the book is incompatible with the device. We'll just have to get the real book.

When my youngest child saw her older siblings reading and enjoying their Babymouse books, she wanted to join in, too. This was the perfect book for her to receive this year from St. Nikolaus!
