Babymouse: Queen of the World is a graphic novel written and illustrated by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. Third-grader Babymouse desperately wants to be the queen of the world, but in order to do that she needs to get on the good side of Felicia Furrypaws, the most popular girl in school. Unfortunately, Felicia does not like Babymouse. But Babymouse is determined and ends up getting invited to Felicia’s sleepover. Unfortunately, the sleepover is on the same night that Babymouse has plans to watch a monster movie with her best friend Wilson the weasel. But surely Wilson will understand right…?
At its heart, this is a graphic novel with a positive message about friendship and deciding what kind of friend you want to be. Babymouse eventually realizes that Felicia Furrypaws and her crew are not the kinds of friends she wants. Even if they are the most popular girls in school, they are mean and boring. Babymouse realizes how good she’s got it with Wilson and decides that she is no longer interested in befriending Felicia in order to be queen of the world. Babymouse is already queen of her own world, she’s got a great friend in Wilson and a great life. This is a great fit for readers who enjoyed the Lunch Lady series or the Squish series.
