Babymouse series, by Jennifer & Matthew Holm

Read these incredibly funny, sweet graphic novels for kids! In the first one, Babymouse: Queen of the World, we are introduced to our heroine, whose imagination often runs wild and carries her away to amazing places. In the second book, Babymouse: Our Hero, she overcomes the horror of being forced to play dodgeball in school (and who among us can not relate to that horror), and in the third, Babymouse: Beach Babe, she goes to the beach with her family and encounters sharks, rogue waves, and more. Thank goodness the series will continue this fall with Babymouse: Rock Star. I can't wait!  These books are definitely not just for kids. Read 'em -- you won't be sorry.
