From Booklist

In her latest adventure, Babymouse accidentally sets off the sprinkler system in the library. With many of the books ruined, the school decides to run a cupcake fund-raiser. Felicia uses catchy slogans and ads to sell hers, but every scheme . . . er, plan Babymouse tries ends in disaster. This time, her overactive imagination does point the way to one plan that maybe, just maybe will work. Young readers will enjoy Babymouse’s daydreams, especially her view of the library as a wonderful landscape of books and the nonfiction section as “the tomb of the unknown fraction.” Grades 4-6. --Kat Kan
