	Babymouse. 1, Queen of the World! Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm (2005) , 91 pages Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade) Category: Animals Friendship Graphic Humor Reluctant Readers
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!!!!!!! Kid review written by Ava M., Age 12

	The Hop Sharelle Byars Moranville (2012) , 0 pages Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade) Category: Adventure Animals Fantasy Friendship New Books Special Powers
Request this book from the Library The stories of a toad trying to save his tiny patch of home from a terrifying bulldozer and a girl trying to save her grandmother's pond from being bulldozed into a strip mall are beautifully intertwined in this charming and well-written modern fairytale. Tad is a young hopper who is sent on a quest to do the only thing possible (and the most disgusting thing imaginable) to save his homeland: kiss a human girl. Taylor is a human girl struggling to find a way to stop the commercial developers who have purchased the property next to her grandmother's home from destroying the habitat by paving it over completely. This book is fast-paced and action-packed, and manages to make serious points about environmentalism, loss, and love amidst the magical realism and fantasy. It would be a great title for Earth Day and for classroom read-alouds, as the adventure, told from Tad and Taylor's alternating perspectives, will keep kids on the edge of their seats until the very last page.

Request this book from the Library You should read this book because it's a good book. It's a good first book to read because it helps you count to ten and it helps you to learn. The book teaches us about many things. It teaches us that animals need water and water helps animals and people to live. It teaches a lesson about caring for the environment, about animal habitats, and about different places and continents. Kid review written by Miss Arnold's ELD Class, Age 6
