Babymouse #5

Valentine's Day chaos has never looked so delightful — the cover of this fifth Babymouse volume shows our bow-adorned heroine practically buried under an avalanche of valentines, bouquets, gift boxes, cupcakes, and heart-addressed cards thrust toward her from every direction. Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's signature pink-and-black-and-white style is in full, cheerful effect, perfectly capturing Babymouse's wide grin as she soaks in all that affection. If you're looking for a funny, sweet read from 2006 that celebrates romance with equal parts silliness and heart, this is a thoroughly winning entry in the series.
