Request this book from the Library If you like graphic novels with HILARIOUS characters, then you'll LOVE Babymouse!!!!!! She's always messing up, and EVERYONE makes fun of her "all over the place," whiskers! I wonder if you'll go along with Babymouse, and agree that Felicia Furrypaws is the WORST animal/person EVEER!! IT has the author making comments, and maybe even you too making comments to everything she says! This book will make you LOL and make you feel sad for her,...."Typical"...According to me, that's Babymouse's FAVORITE response to pretty much EVERTHING!!!!!!!
