The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread
by Kate DiCamillo, Timothy Ering
My opinion (9/7/2010)
In my opinion I thought Dicamillo did a wonderful job with writing the three books on each character. She made the book come alive with all the descriptive and different settings in her book.

I have always loved the "Tale Of Despereaux".
When I was in the third grade my teacher read me this book, so I decided I needed to get a closer look into the story so I read it over the summer. To my interest I absolutely loved it! Kate keep writing those books!
