Babymouse wants to become President of her school. She is very excited about being able to be in charge of the school and finally being able to beat mean perfect Felicia. At first Babymouse is scared of running for President because she didn’t feel that she would be good enough. When some encourages Babymouse to become President she automatically thinks about the benefits of being in official and is overwhelmed with the idea of fame and glory. Babymouse decides that she is going to run for office but doesn’t really know how to get started. She gets help from her friend with her campaign and really understands why she wants to be President. At the debates Babymouse is asked what she believed in and why she wanted to become President of the school. Babymouse thinks about the students and what they would like. She realizes that being President means you are the voice of the people. Unfortunately Babymouse does not win but is able to take the experience of responsibility and the true meaning of being President. The Babymouse series is one of those remarkable creations: a pink book that appeals to boys. I have had no trouble selling 8-year-olds on the dramatic, hyperactive, accident-prone mouse. Kids with a more subtle sense of humor appreciate the narrator's snarky comments, but everybody loves being smarter than Babymouse.This newest volume is right on time for the 2012 election. Kids who aren't quite ready to formulate opinions about presidential politics still have plenty of ideas being thrust upon them about what an election is about. Babymouse isn't intimidating; perhaps young would-be politicians will be inspired by her dreams.
