A graphic novel about a mouse that daydreams, has problems with her locker, and struggles to fit in at school and find her own identity. When Valentine's Day arrives, Babymouse anxiously waits to see if she will have a date for the dance. Our spunky mouse has conversations with the narrator who encourages her and gives her suggestions. When she is not asked, she goes alone and and dances with someone who has admired her all along. The story borrows scenes from other stories such as Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and even a scene from the movie Dirty Dancing. The pink and gray illustrations are simple in appearance and work well to complement the story. This is number five in a series of humorous graphic novels geared for second through fifth grades. Readers will love the fun and entertaining story line that teaches them to persevere and that it's okay not to be perfect.
