From Booklist

In the sevent book in the Babymouse series, the intrepid heroine takes up ice-skating, learning that it takes hard work to be the best. When her training schedule begins to cut her off from her friends and from her beloved cupcakes, she must decide how badly she wants to win. Once again the brother-sister creative team hits the mark with humor, sweetness, and characters so genuine they can pass for real kids. Cute, smart, sassy Babymouse is fun and funny, and this book, like its predecessors, will draw reluctant readers as well as Babymouse fans. Coleman, Tina

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect 10 for This Skating (and Falling) Babymouse, March 10, 2010

This review is from: Babymouse #7: Skater Girl (Paperback)

This is one of my favorites of the Babymouse books, because while Babymouse, as she always does, throws herself into ice skating, she also learns that even if you can make it to the top, it doesn't always mean you should. Her dreams of Olympic (or even local) skating stardom start to fade with her early morning hours and, oh no!, the fact that cupcakes are forbidden. We (and the author/illustrator) alternately cheer her on and laugh gently with her as she falls on the ice and grapples with a very tough instructor. Babymouse is always adorable, and here she learns a lesson that is a very important one for kids and even winds up with a very special trophy all her own. Perfectly done, will make kids cheer not for a perfect 10, but for a perfectly imperfect Babymouse.

This review is from: Babymouse #7: Skater Girl (Paperback)

The book is enjoyable and funny especially, when babymouse wants to be a pro skater but she keeps falling when she jumps up to high. She wants to attend ice-skating classes but she never knew she had to go early in the morning.
