5.0 out of 5 stars How to Care for a Dog (and How Not To), January 22, 2010

This review is from: Babymouse #8: Puppy Love (Paperback)

This was my first, but definitely not my last, Babymouse adventure. The adorable drawings are enough to suck you in, but the fun, knowing, slightly teasing attitude as Babymouse tries out pet after pet (where do all of them disappear to she wonders) is what truly won me over. Babymouse thinks that after overfeeding her goldfish and letting her hamster escape, the dog she's found in the street, whose name she doesn't know despite umpteen guesses, is just the dog for her.

But Buddy has a mind of his own, and interests like eating shoes. Babymouse gets a crash course in caring for her dog and readers young and old will laugh along with her (and, sometimes encouraged by the authors, at her, like when she dives for the ball to demonstrate to Buddy how to play fetch). The line drawings are playful and there are plenty of in-jokes for adults (like the bit about Charlotte's Web) that they won't tire of Babymouse's antics. I'm looking forward to more Babymouse adventures (especially Cupcake Tycoon).
