Babymouse is still doing her best. This is about those horrible school fundraisers. They give out a prize for the most stuff sold and she wants that prize. She goes through a lot to get it too and of course her imagination of the prize is much better than what the prize is.
She is competing against her arch-enemy Felicia for top seller. Her imagination soars as usual. Her locker eats things and like in Babymouse land is the same as usual.
These are fun little stories. Only 5 left to go.

These graphic novels blow my mind! They are so clever and all of the allusions (God, Greek Mythology, Monopoly, Donald Trump, etc.) are so well placed and smart! This one was really funny and I already have a kid waiting for it!

Not gonna lie. Sometimes what one needs isn't a 400 page book to tell others about so they can impress someone. No, sometimes you need the baby-est (not a word, I know) book to just chill with. Pictures are my friends and while I can derive them from words alone, it's nicer to see actual ones sometimes.

Reason for Reading: This book is a Cybils '10 nominees and as a panelist for Graphic Novels this is required reading for me.
It's fundraising time at school again, only this time they are raising money for books for the library that was recently destroyed in a flood (Babymouse!) and Babymouse is gloomy of the prospects of having every door slammed in her face with a hearty "No!" until she learns they will be selling cupcakes. Of course, then she's happy and all she can concentrate on is selling the most so she can win the mysterious "Grand Prize" but after selling 3 (2 to her mom and 1 to the narrator ) and finding out Kitty has sold over a hundred she puts her mind into overdrive to come up with better ways of marketing, only to find Kitty got there first bigger and better. Finally through sheer determinedness and realizing why she's fundraising in the first place BM comes up with a way to sell cupcakes that Kitty would never have dreamed of. Her imaginations were a lot more fun here than in the last book. I loved the Pikachu watching her on TV in Japan, the Donald Trump take-off was so recognizable by the hair, King Midas, Rumpelstiltskin and making a TV Commercial were all fun, and hey! NO Star Wars scene this time. (yay). A good story to chew on as well, as we parents often dread the extra effort and time of fundraising season, and the kids often focus more on the prizes than the cause money is being raised for.

One Sentence Review: Babymouse is the Liz Lemon of the juvenile graphic novel world and this is one of the stronger inclusions in her series (or maybe it's just that I love cupcakes so much).
October 31, 2010
Some Babymice are better than others. With that in mind, this particular Babymouse is one of the finer titles I've seen. When our be-whiskered heroine accidentally manages to flood the entire school library by accident, a fundraiser is called for. Babymouse finds herself in direct competition with Felicia Furrypaws to sell the most cupcakes for the school. The catch? Felicia has a marketing machine at her beck and call and Babymouse isn't exactly the world's most natural saleswoman. It all works out in the end, of course, and with a rather clever ending at that. Babymouse truly is the Liz Lemon of the middle grade comic book world. This is one of her better tales. - B

Love Babymouse-- most of all because I can share her with my 11-year old daughter. Babymouse is a great role model in a tiny pink package.

Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon, written and illustrated by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm, is a great children’s graphic novel that follows the story of a young determined mouse. Babymouse, the main character, is an adventurous young mouse who is determined to win her schools cupcake selling fundraiser. Babymouse accidently breaks the water pipe in the school library and the school decides to hold a fundraiser to get money to repair the damage done to the library. This particular fundraiser is very exciting to Babymouse because it involves one of her favorite things, cupcakes! Babymouse very much wants to win the prize for selling the most cupcakes, and so she sets off to devise a plan to do so. At first her attempts seem unsuccessful, but soon she comes up with the perfect plan to sell the most cupcakes and win the prize- a cupcake stand. The character of Babymouse was cleverly developed and added a great amount of interest and intrigue in the plot of this graphic novel.
The illustrations throughout were also very well done and added to the overall impact of the book. There were only three colors throughout: white, black, and pink. Although there wasn’t much variety in color, there was a great amount of variety in illustrations. The word bubbles and carton style drawings and page set up added to the overall effectiveness of this graphic novel.
I would use this book in 3rd to 5th grade to teach a lesson about graphic novels as a genre of literature. I think that it is an important genre that students are often unaware of, but can add an important understanding of literature as a whole. I think that this book is appropriate for middle to older elementary aged students because it has some more sophisticated text and is longer in length. However, I do not think that it would be too difficult for 3rd graders, or uninteresting for 5th graders. Overall, I really enjoyed this graphic novel and thought that it did a good job presenting the ideas throughout the novel.

I've read two or three Babymouse volumes for the Cybils and of them, Cupcake Tycoon by Jennifer and Matt Holm is my favorite so far. In this one, Babymouse and her classmates are fundraising to buy new books after Babymouse's accident while picking a book has resulted in a flood in the library.
In the other books I've read Babymouse doesn't put herself fully into her newest obsession. Usually her reasons for joining in the fun are rather petty or selfish. This time though she really is passionate about books and wasn't trying to cause all the damage she did. While there is a prize for the fundraising too, I think some of her motivation though is still on getting new books.
But like the other Babymouse books I've read, she has to compete. This time it's against Felicia Furrypaws who seems to have the entire cupcake fundraising industry in her back pocket. Her campaign involves outlandish things like radio ads, bus billboards and the like.
Babymouse though comes through not by conning her friends into doing her work and not by throwing a fit. In true screwball comedy fashion at her lowest point she ends up going viral. It's the round the world viral success of Babymouse's pleas for help that made me love the book. There are so many hilarious international pop culture icons and Easter eggs that I was roaring with laughter. My favorite is the panel showing the famous crossing in Tokyo with Pikachu watching Babymouse on the video screen.

I can honestly say that after reading this crass homage to making money, I won't recommend this book to my ISD students. The book teaches children to celebrate money and wealth, (no big deal in and of itself), but this graphic novel has a lot of "ick-factor". For some reason, the book starts off at the "ancestral estate of Lord Babymouse" with an illustration that celebrates the gated and privileged wealth associated with the Ewings from Dallas. (yes, I'm dating myself here).
The narrative seems to be interspersed with fantastical wanderings of the mind. And then the narrator seems like a God-like figure? Maybe starting with book #13 rather than with book #1 leaves me out of the loop, but after reading this graphic novel, I have no desire to recommend this book to my students.
Mind you, I don't have to recommend it. Word of mouth has made this series EXTREMELY popular among the ISD elementary school population. Whether I recommend this work or not, the Babymouse Series doesn't sit on the shelf very long.

This book is children's fiction, graphic-novel
Babymouse is a spunky female mouse who dreams and imagines these goofy scenarios. In Cupcake Typhoon she is having a contest in her classroom to sell the most cupcakes so she can win the prize, and fix the library that she flooded in the beginning of the story. She is frustrated when she isn't selling as quickly as she thought. One day she decides to set up a stand on the corner of an intersection and somehow ends up on the news selling more cupcakes than she could imagine. She even sold some in Japan. When the day comes for her to receive the prize she is hugely disappointed to discover it is just a plaque set up in the library.
This book is appropriate for ages 7+
This would be a fun read for a beginner, or for anyone that enjoys graphic novels. I think they are a great way to motivate reluctant readers and since it is a series of books you can guarantee they'll be reading again soon.

Holm, J., Holm, M. (2010). Babymouse: Cupcake tycoon. New York: NY. Random House Children’s Books.
Babymouse accidentally floods her school library while daydreaming that she is an Indiana Jones-like character. The school needs to fundraise in order to replace all of the damaged books with a cupcake sale and Babymouse is determined to win “a special prize”.
This graphic novel, written and illustrated by a brother and sister team, is playful and winsome with its broad pen and ink drawing, tinted with shades of pink. Although the story is filled with fast-paced action and adventure, there are several out of place asides that are definitely directed at adult readers, such as a take on Robin Leech’s “Champagne wishes and cupcake dreams”; perhaps such asides are there to appeal to the parents who will be paying for the next installment of this popular series! A hilarious intermediate level read!

Good reads
Babymouse and her classmates are doing a fundraising for the school library. As Babymouse has already ruined it. Later Babymouse is trying to find sponsors, but fails. Then Babymouse makes a small stand in the rain and many news reporters came and checked it out. At the end, Babymouse wins the award for whomever gets the most sponors.
The reason I picked the book is because when I was younger I used to love comic books and I still enjoy them but not as much as I grow older.
I also picked up the book is because it's pink, when I was younger I loved the colour pink and that's how I used to choose my books.
The reason I finished the book is because I didn't feel like ending it in the middle.
I would recommend this book to one my family friend, she really likes girl comics.

This book is one of the cutest books i have ever read! It actually made me go out and read more of them because they are so good. Babymouse rules the world, and is a sassy fun little mouse.The book is set up in multiple boxes on each page, as if it was a cartoon. The pictures are all hand drawn and very cute and silly. In the book Cupcake Tycoon,the school library is having a fundraiser to raise money for the school, and a giant grand prize is given out to the person who raises the most. With Babymouse being the "shining star", she wants to outsell everyone. She is determined to win that grand prize and things get fierce with her arch enemy Felicia Furrypaws. This book series is great for younger students. It will keep them engaged and laughing the entire time.

I think this book was great because baby mouse sold all her cupcakes for fun-raiser in the library. And baby mouse was determined to raise the most money.And she won a grand prize.My favorite part was when babymouse made the cupcakes.

Cupcake Tycoon is the 13th book in the series Babymouse. Babymouse’s school is holding a fundraiser for the library and the student who raises the most money wins the grand-prize! Babymouse is determined to win the grand prize and outselling every other kid with her delicious cupcake. However, nothing goes according to plan until a news station takes pity on her an advertises Babymouse’s cupcakes on TV! Ultimately, Babymouse sells all of her cupcakes.
Babymouse is a very funny and relatable character to children. She is sassy, witty and loves the color pink. Babymouse’s love for pink is demonstrated in the illustration where the only other color besides black and white are different shades of pink. The plot is pretty straightforward and follows a simple storyline. I would definitely recommend this book to any kid who loves graphic novels.
One book I thought of when reading this graphic novel is If You Give a Cat a Cupcake because both books revolve around the theme of cupcakes!
One of my favorite quotes of the book is at the beginning when the reader is introduce to Babymouse's elaborate imagination. The quote is, "Lord Babymouse’s Great-great grandpa made the family fortune in the lucrative cupcake trade."

In this thirteenth installment of Babymouse series, Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon, Babymouse accidentally destroys a large part of her school library’s collection, and joins her classmates in a cupcake-selling fundraiser of epic proportions to raise money for new books. Like other stories in the series, Babymouse is initially foiled by her school nemesis, the popular (and apparently well-funded) Felicia, who out-advertises and out-sells Babymouse at every turn in pursuit of a mystery prize (oh, and books for the school, too). Delightful illustrations and witty allusions fill the pages of this familiar black, white, and pink graphic novel, making an amusing read for emerging and seasoned readers of all ages. The mix of panels, full page illustrations, and colorful banter between Babymouse and the narrator offer readers a dynamic and inviting space to explore comics and graphic novels, making Babymouse a successful introduction to the genre for new or reluctant comic readers. As for those wary of all the pink, Squish the green amoeba is introduced at the end, promoting his own graphic novel: Squish: Super Amoeba, released in 2011.

This is the thirteenth book in the Babymouse series by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. The plot centers on Babymouse's experiences selling items to raise money for her school library.
As usual, things don't work out very smoothly for Babymouse, and she finds success only in her darkest hour. Nonetheless, it's an entertaining story. I loved the literary and film references, even the snide ones. I also loved the reference to the library; Babymouse even says that the library is her favorite place.
Our youngest really likes these books. They are quick reads and she read this book in less than an hour. We've been going through this series very quickly and now that we're close to the end, perhaps we'll move on to the Squish series next.

It's cute and funny. Babymouse wants to sell the most cupcakes in her class, but her enemy will do it all to beat her. They're competing for a mystery prize. Babymouse feels like a loser and thinks she'll never win when every house she goes to someone's there and her enemy as said before is in the news, billboards, and tv. Until she has a idea for a stand. She makes it and it's going great then it starts to rain and everyone skatters and she gets soacked. Well along comes a news reporter and sees her and thinks it's so sad so she interviews her all over the world and everyone buys some. she gets the grand prize and it is... A STINKING PLAQUE!!!! She's so mad. It's so funny and a little sad at times, but mostly it's fun.

I've been reading the "Babymouse" series since I was young and I still enjoy them. This book was no exception.
After Babymouse accidentally destroys the school library, the school has a cupcake fundraiser to help fix it. Babymouse is thrilled, especially when she hears about the special prize for the top seller. Now she is determined to win, even if that means having to out- think Felicia Furrypaws, the mean girl and a major business tycoon. Babymouse, after exhausting out many selling ideas, finally comes up with the perfect idea: a corner cupcake stand, guaranteed to win; but in the end, will Babymouse end up losing focus of what's really important?

I highly recommend this book, the series to all Elementary and Middle School students.

Appeal: The character in this book, Babymouse, is on an adventure to sell as many cupcakes as possible for her school fundraiser. Many students would find her to be a humorous character as she gets herself into all kinds of predicaments along the way. Because it is a graphic novel, the layout of the story is different and interesting and would appeal to students who have had some experience with and enjoy graphic novels.
Award List: Great graphic novels for kids: Recommended graphic novels for grades 3-5

After an accident in the library, the school is having a fundraiser to fix up the place and restock the flooded shelves. And there's a mystery prize for the student who sells the most cupcakes. Babymouse is bound and determined to win that mystery prize...oh, and she'd like to help the library too. But Felicia is raking in the cupcake sales and Babymouse can't figure out how to beat her. Can she think up an advertising gimmick that Felicia hasn't capitalized on yet so she can win the prize?
A funny business adventure for Babymouse that explores the motives of her heart. The narrator was my favorite part of this one.
No content issues.

Here is another hilarious Babymouse adventure from the sister-brother team of Jennifer and Matt Holm. In this story, Babymouse accidentally sets off the school's sprinkler system, destroying her beloved library, and a cupcake-selling fundraiser to help pay for the damage is set in motion. Babymouse is, as usual, thwarted in her attempts to take the easy way out. Despite Babymouse's eventual success, a final comeuppance still awaits her. The omniscient narrator, outrageous situations, and simple yet expression-filled illustrations make for a quick, hysterical read.

3.5 stars. Okay.... Babymouse is starting to grow on me. Aidan ADORES this series and I have to admit that I think they are getting better as the series goes on. These early reader graphic novels are a HUGE hit with the kids and are great for Grades 1 - 5, especially girls, who love graphic novels but don't want fighting, mythical creature, sci-fi, etc. In this installment Babymouse has to sell cupcakes to raise money for the library. Of course there is a contest involved and Babymouse is determined to win and beat her frenemy Felicia Furrypaws.

December 10, 2013I personally loved this book, Babymouse tried to get a book from the library that was very high, so she got up there and got the book, but almost fell and was saved by a pipe hanging up there, However she made the pipe break and caused a huge flood, Making a fundraiser to remake the new books, Although her selling skills werent too good, They were doing one on her favorite food, Cupcakes!
I seriousy LOVED the part when pikachu was on there, Pokemon stands out as my favorite franchise, and I loved seeing pikachu :3!

April 18, 20151. This book does the opposite of Squish. Babymouse is in her imagination in white and her story is the color pink. Students will be able to understand the story and relate to the concept of fundraising. 2. I could use this story right before school fundraisers to get the students excited about our fundraiser. Students in grade two and three will benefit most from this book. 3. This is a fun book that talks about a little mousegirl with a wild imagination. It is easily followed and easily read.

Babymouse floods the school library on accident, she participates in a cupcake fundraiser to help pay for the repairs of the library. Selling cupcakes isn't as easy has babymouse had anticipated. This book is great! Great for children or people who are still children at heart. Babymouse is a lovable character that makes you want to read until the end. The illustrations are wonderful as well, only using black, white, and pink may seem strange but it really works for this book.

In the newest Babymouse book, it's time to tackle that most beloved of school-related projects: fundraising. After Babymouse floods the library (by accident of course) the school needs to do a fundraiser to replace the damaged books. The fundraiser will be selling cupcakes, and the winner will get a special prize. Can Babymouse beat Felicia and get the prize?

When Babymouse accidentally floods the school library, she must participate in a fundraiser to help rebuild it. But selling cupcakes isn't quite as easy as she thought it would be. Can Babymouse outsell the other students to win the mystery prize?
Awww, I feel the library love on this one. :) Another fantastic Babymouse book!

I have to admit, this is my first Babymouse book that I have read. Who doesn't love cupcakes? The story begins with an accidental flooding of the library (gasp!). Can Babymouse make things right by being the top seller for the cupcake fundraiser to restock the library? Competition ensues. A very good story for kids to see that despite things happening, keep trying.
