The Tale of Despereaux


The Tale of Despereaux
by Kate DiCamillo

Finished Kate DiCamillo’s book for children called The Tale of Despereaux. It is a tale of a mouse who falls in love with a Princess, gets sent to the dungeon by his peers for interacting with the Princess, and, after a fretful capture of the Princess, the undersized mouse does what he knows he must do: enter the dungeon, try to find the Princess, and bring her back to safety.  This is a cute children’s book that provides moments of curiosity (the addition of some words into the vocabulary), reflection (doing the right thing), and ensuring the castle and the kingdom return to peace.  A few subplots included as well.  I think younger kids would really enjoy this book.
