A Very Babymouse Christmas (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This was a more entertaining read than I anticipated. I thought that the way Jennifer Holm separates herself in the book with the use of square boxes really lets kids understand how to interpret the book. As a reader, it almost gives you the sense that you are the narrator and are interacting with Babymouse during her choas. This particular book was great for kids because they certainly can relate to wanting the coolest item on the market for christmas and seem to get caught up in the wait for the presents which is where they forget the real reasons that christmas is so great. In A Very Babymouse Christmas, the kids are shown that even if they get what they want for christmas, its the family and friends that make it special. This holiday season, our beloved mouse is eager to get the hot new does-it-all phone, a Wizbang, which already the Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm give a nod to the adults and mock our desire for the latest, greatest tech products. Babymouse tries to con Santa with various disguises and gets taken back to the Ghosts of Mean Girls Past as she, hopefully, learns a lesson. Will there be a "typical" ending for her? Read A Very Babymouse Christmas, and then do someone a favor and give them a copy. Babymouse is charming even when she's being bratty and self-centered, in a cute mouse kind of way. One of the best in the series.
What do You think about A Very Babymouse Christmas (2011)?
Read it to Natalie. I think most of it was overt her head. I liked the message about tradition.
