Babymouse

I'm really not a fan of graphic novels. Call me lazy, but it annoys me to have to think about pictures in order to get the jist of the story. I'd rather just read. And when I read I like to be able to get into the flow of the words. But Babymouse was so choppy. It just was not a great reading experience for me.

That said, I have to give Babymouse props for content. In particular, I love how she says that real heroes don't give up on pg. 59. Her imagination was funny, and I think that some kids might reall get into it. I think it's interesting that the last 2 books we've read were both about characters with huge imaginations, but they were presented in really different ways.
