The competition is fierce, but Babymouse will stop at nothing to get what she wants, even if it means outselling every last kid in school . . . including her nefarious nemesis, Felicia Furrypaws. The claws are out and the race is on in this absolutely PRICELESS Babymouse!

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

In her latest adventure, Babymouse accidentally sets off the sprinkler system in the library. With many of the books ruined, the school decides to run a cupcake fund-raiser. Felicia uses catchy slogans and ads to sell hers, but every scheme . . . er, plan Babymouse tries ends in disaster. This time, her overactive imagination does point the way to one plan that maybe, just maybe will work. Young readers will enjoy Babymouse’s daydreams, especially her view of the library as a wonderful landscape of books and the nonfiction section as “the tomb of the unknown fraction.” Grades 4-6. --Kat Kan

This review is from: Babymouse #13: Cupcake Tycoon (Paperback)

Another winning entry in this adorable series about cupcake-loving Babymouse and her nemesis, Felicia Furrypaws. When their school announces a cupcake bake sale to raise money for the library that Babymouse destroyed (oops!), Babymouse tries everything she can think of to sell more baked goods, to no avail, until...well, you'll have to read the book to find out. There's the trusty references to other stories, gentle nudging by the narrator, and the adorable Babymouse. In the hands of author Jennifer L. Holm and illustrator Matthew Holm, Babymouse is a mouse kids and adults want to root for, even when she grumbles and whines. Plus they've already established Babymouse's love of cupcakes, so this is a great combination (you don't have to have read any of the other Babymouse books to adore this one, trust me).

Another fun BabyMouse book. If you have a reluctant reader, this is the book to buy. My daughter has the whole series and still reads/wants them.

Babymouse Cupcake Tycoon is a really good book because she likes cupcakes. When I got this book it looked like it was boring, but when I read it I thought it was kind of good. Everyone likes to read babymouse. I imagine stuff like she was the taster of cupcakes because they were pink.
