Meet Babymouse – Classroom Cast

LibraryLady1000

This is a terrific video to introduce students to Babymouse by authors Jennifer Holm and her brother, Matthew Holm. It is a graphic novel series for middle grades (5-8) and has a middle school cult following. There are several books in the series of Babymouse and the simple drawings with mostly black, white, and pink graphics, are very popular with students, particularly girls.
