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.
