Kaylee writes the following about The Tale of Despereaux :
This tiny mouse's adventure sure isn't tiny! Thats why The Tale of Despereaux is such a good book!
In The Tale of Despereaux, there is a mouse with extremely big ears and is born with his eyes open. When he gets sent to the dungeon for seeing the princess, he meets some pretty mean rats and a weird jailer. He escapes the dungeon's foul smell and ends up going back down in attempt to save the princess.
You will enjoy all three of the adventures in this book. I would recommend this book for 4-6 graders. Or for anyone who likes a good adventure!!
