Take Extreme Babymouse (Babymouse, #17) By Jennifer L. Holm File Ebook

Babymouse
The plot of the story is very easy to follow, most panels have only one or two bubbles each.
The “narrator” boxes help explain and clarify whats happening, yet they are often funny and satirical too, My favorite is when the snowboarding teacher tells the students to “go at your own pace and always listen to your inner voice.
” Babymouse then thinks: “this helmet smells funny Im hungry my fingers are cold my socks are too tight my whiskers are itchy.
The narrator adds, “Your inner voice is certainly whiny, Babymouse, ”

Grade level: Im relying on the reviews I read to determine age and grade levels since this is a new genre for me and I dont have any personal experience in this area.
Grades
Audiences and Book Bundle topics: Girls, Humor Lovers, Snowboarders, Winter Sport Lovers
Curricular: The story covers how a mouse wants to follow and be part of the popular group but eventually decides she needs to listen to her “inner voice” and saves herself from a bad fall which the “popular girl” experiences as we see her taken away on a stretcher as she moans in pain.
The last panels show Babymouse saying, “I guess sometimes its good not to be like everybody else,” and her inner voice replies, “You said it!”

This is a great book to encourage girls to be themselves, not always following the crowd.
I dont think most boys would enjoy this book as much however, its extremely pink!
I liked the message of listening to your inner voice but omg the use of the word extreme was extremely annoying!
I have been a fan of Babymouse from book one.
And here we are atstill going strong! : A series filled with sass, smiles, cuteness, and cupcakes, This episode finds our heroine trying to survive a day on the slopes snowboarding under extreme pressure to follow the cool crowd.
Can Babymouse find her own way

”Its important to go at your own pace and always listen to your inner voice.
”

My love for this series often surprises my friends and family because the color pink gives me full blown nightmares, BUT under all this pink sarcastic cuteness is huge heart! Babymouses individuality shines through every time.
With imagination, humor, and courage, she always makes me proud! From hot chocolate to heartfelt messages, team Holms words and pictures will inspire readers to have fun being themselves.


A quick, extremely pink, energetic read that will cause smiles and cupcake cravings galore!
Epic book! This was my first Babymouse novel and I loved it.
It was so cute and funny, I think any child in middle school or elementary will enjoy this book immensely and even start reading other in the series.
One of the better ones,

sitelink com/blogcomm Everyone is going snowboarding, Babymouse gets to go too, but her trip isn't as cool as Felicia's, nor as her own fantasies, I particularly loved the ending,

The one thing I really miss, though, is a best friend, It doesn't have to be Wilson, she can have someone else, but he books seem to be all about Babymouse versus Felicia, and I'd like to see more of the friends she does have.


Library copy. This isth book in the entertaining graphic novel in the Babymouse series, I highly recommend these books for reluctant or low level readers particularly girls, In this installment Babymouse becomes obsessed with the idea of snowboarding, It seems to be the only thing her classmates are talking about and Babymouse doesn't want to be the only one not hitting the slopes.
As always Babymouse can be a bit of a brat and a drama queen, In the end she learns a valuable lesson though about listening to your own thoughts and choosing what is right for you.
I enjoyed reading Extreme Babymouse, There were lots of laughs, but lots of things that made me kinda think, "Whats going to happen" Especially in the end, where Babymouse hears the, "Meow," and it turns out to be Felicia, in pain.

But other than that, it was pretty funny, Going to a ski/snowboarding resort, taking beginner lessons, Oh, wow, Babymouse couldnt stand being with little kids that way,
Anyway, I think Graphic novel lovers would love this book, Love the allusions that Babymouse always has! I think I'm going to start reading them aloud to my students will bring about great discussions.
And of course, Babymouse always learns a lesson, Extreme Babymouse by Jennifer L, Holm amp Matthew Holm Oh my goodness, I never tire of reading Babymouse books! This one was a fantastic example of how to deal with peer pressure, listen to your inner voice, and have fun in the process.
. . I love the voices in the story and love the strength of the storytelling still on book, I also love that numerous boys and girls are huge fans of Babymouse and Lunch Lady in my school, celebration to reading graphic novels! I loved it! Graphic Novel Series
School Library Journal recommends:Gradesndthprimary/intermediate

Evaluation of text and images:
There is a lot going on in each panel which can be used to encourage the reader to slow down to enjoy and reflect on the graphics.
The author does provide breaks in the use of multiple panels by dispersing fullpage illustrations throughout the book, Most of the graphics are in black and white, It's interesting how pink is used to highlight what Babymouse is imagining or important characters/objects, The students may not "see" the pink highlights as a connection to her imagination until teacher/parent guides them to this insight.
I think it takes some time to absorb the graphics and the personality of Babymouse in order to follow the storyline.
Slowing down and analyzing with teacher/parent guidance at first is an important reading skill,

Once the child has guidelines to help with the comprehension of this story, I think they would be hooked and ready to read every book in the series.
Always wondering: What will Babymouse do next with her wild imagination


Audience:

School Library Journal recommendsnd throughth and I agree.
A primary school audience would appreciate the cute yet also adventurous characters, An intermediate audience would relate to Babymouse's concern over what everyone else at school is doing over the weekend, I think all ages ofndth would enjoy analyzing the story line to figure out why the author highlights certain images in pink, exploring imagination, and the idea of listening to your "inner voice".


Application Ideas I brainstormed many but would only use one or two at a time,

Before Reading:
Talk about and define the word extreme
Read cover and the back of the front cover as it uses the word "extreme" and entices the student to read this book.
It acts as a movie trailer might to grab and interest,
Make a list of synonyms for the word "extreme" on an anchor chart,
Ask the students if they have ever daydreamed about being great at something, Make a list of daydreams on an anchor chart,
Discuss "imagination" and list things students have imagined doing on chart,
Ask the students if they have ever felt like everyone else got to do something fun that you were not doing but wanted to do.
Make a list of some of these things on an anchor chart/white board,
the characters on the first page and talk about the description of each, Students can make a list of these characters in their writing notebook for reference during the read aloud,


During Reading:
Ask the students to watch carefully for where pink is added to the images, Ask them to think about why pink was added to just those certain places, Tell them to keep thinking through the whole reading of the book and look for clues as to why,
Ask the students to call out the names of the characters introduced on the first page as you read the book.

Discuss what is meant by "inner voice", Have students share how they feel when they get a feeling they should not do something they really want to do.
What is their "inner voice" saying to them


After Reading:
Discuss personification and if it was used in this book.
Point out the "Locker". What did it do and how did it look Make a list together of other objects that would be fun to bring to life.
Ask students to pick one and write verbs actions that this object does or how this object looks like a person.
Use the "Locker" as a model,
Create an Inner Voice Cloud as Babymouse did on page, Ask the students to use something fun they would like to do but could be dangerous, then have them fill in the "inner voice" thoughts into the speech bubbles.

Create similes comparing two different things using "like" or "as"as the author did in this book with the images.

Example: Snowboarding is like a magic carpet ride,


Positives or Cautions:
The way the author wrapped up this story was very positive, Babymouse was having all kinds of "extreme" emotions about how to keep up with her friends, but in the end, she listens to her "inner voice" and realizes she does not need to be like everyone else after all.









very cool the characters are very funny
