The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Dicamillo

This book is about a mouse, a rat, a spool of thread, and last but not least, a bowl of soup! Read the book to find out what it's all about! More books by this author:

1)The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
2)Tiger Rising

Kate Dicamillo is a great author!

this book is very good. i connect to despereaux because i like reading books too!

I loved this book!!!! I read it 3 times! I love the part when he is covered in flour and looks like a ghost

My favorite part was when Despereaux drank the queen's favorite soup!

I have also read the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. She starts the book with a good lead and an interesting plot. Finally, she ends with a satisfying ending!

The tale of Despereaux is personally my favorite book that Kate DiCammilo has written, I've read it 5 times. Imagine having Despereaux as your best friend!

I have read this book a lot of times. I like reading about castle life and evil prisoners. The thing is this book doesn't have as many extraodinary magical creatures! I think it needs stuff like dragons or fire phoenixes or wizards.

i love the book tale of despereuax. i like the name chiroruscuro and i think despereuax is cute because he is so small and light.

I think that this is a pleasing and fun story. Have you watched the movie? I think that the book is much better! I believe the author also wrote Winn-Dixie.

I also enjoyed the book! Something I thought was really cool was that the pages of the book were like nibbled by mouse In 2nd grade I remember, my teacher read that book aloud, in 3rd grade I read it myself, and in 4th grade I watched the movie! All were awesome!

This was one of my very favorite books to read aloud to my students when I was a classroom teacher. I think it will become a classic one day. One of the things I liked the best about it is how none of the characters are completely good or evil. They all have their needs and are just trying to have those needs met. A very human-like books considering it is a fantasy!
If you have not read any other of Kate Dicamillo's books, run to your nearest library and check another out!

I have read Because of Win-Dixie and the Miraculous Journey of Edward (well actually my 3rd grade teacher read it to me) but not The Tale of Despereaux, it sounds really good though so i might try it.

despereux was very smart when he used a needle as a sword for his size. i also saw the movie in class. ( the princess looks a bit weird)

I haven't read the book, but I have watched the movie.

is the movie good

isthis author the same author who wrote Winn-Dixie??

yup, you're correct both by Kate Decamillo! I think she's a good author

yup

My mom read that book to me when I was maybe 4 or 5 years old and it was SOOOOO good!!!

yes, its different from the book. instead of locking te pea in chains, they take her to the rat stadium where they let rats eat her, anyways i wont spoil the show.
