Holm, Jennifer & Matthew Holm. 2006. Babymouse: Heartbreaker. New York: Random House. ISBN 978-0-375-83798-9
2. PLOT SUMMARY
Babymouse really wants a date for the Valentine's Day Dance.  But when no one asks her, what is a mouse to do?  Go by herself of course!  Could love be waiting for her on the dance floor?
 
3. CRITICAL ANALYSIS
The Babymouse series by Holm and Holm is obviously marketed and written for young girls.  The graphic are simple with a limited color palette of pink, black, and white.  The limited text is presented in traditional speach bubble format with small block accents.  The storyline is simple and fit for emergent readers. 
4. REVIEW EXCERPT(S)
positive review- Kirkus  "emergent readers will cheer 'Babymouse!'"
Positive review- The Bulletin "A new hero emerges in...Babymouse."
