Babymouse #11: Dragonslayer (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I don't know how many of these I've read, but this is my favorite so far. I actually think it's almost for older readers. Who else would get the jokes, like the math teams' names: The Fighting Fractions, The Hypotemouses, and the Owlgorithms? This concerns Babymouse's low grades in math, so her teacher sends her to be on the math team, where she has to work on math every day at lunch. There are multiple ways to be successful in school, like in math, and this book shows the triumph of Babymouse at the end. Very fun. I'd think many math teachers would love this one. One word. ADORABLE. Oh how I wish these books had been around when I was a little girl. I picked up this title while browsing at the bookstore, and the cover was just too cute to pass up.Full of daydreams, references to classic fantasy literature, and a positive message for young girls who THINK they're no good at math, Babymouse is smart, hip, and totally cute.Recommended for: Young girls (k-5) who spend more time daydreaming than studying. You never know, this book might just inspire them to push a little harder at school and give math another chance.Faults: There are a few elements (such as the random breaking of the fourth wall on occasion) that very young independent readers might not completely grasp. You might want to read it first and talk to them about it when they're finished.

What do You think about Babymouse #11: Dragonslayer (2012)?

I had to take off a point because the story was about math. Loved the LOTR references though.

The parodies/homages were off the chart in this one. "One slide to rule them all." So good.
