The Tale of Despereaux
The Tale of Despereaux
by
Kate DiCamillo

Despereaux is a very special mouse in a
very special book.  The Tale of
Despereaux is Kate DiCamillo's third book
for children and was the 2004 Newbery
Award Winner.
If you loved fairy tales when you were a little kid, you are
sure to love this book.  It's a fairy tale for big kids and a
great adventure story.  Despereaux is a runt of a mouse,
but a hero of gigantic proportions.  That is what makes this
book so wonderful.  It helps kids to see that they can
dream big and achieve their own dreams, just like
Despereaux.   Highly recommended by Rachel and Sarah.
