The Tale of Despereaux

Kate DiCamillo's wonderful book, The Tale of Despereaux, is quite enthralling through the three different sections in the book. The first section, or Despereaux, mainly focuses on the story of the mouse, Despereaux. Despereaux was born with abnormally large ears that he gets made fun of by everyone. His many siblings, friends, and even the humans! He begins his perilous journey and soon meats many friends... and enemies.

This book could either be fictional or nonfictional. It could be nonfictional due to the fact that mice do exist and can rome and be heroes to their own race. On the other hand, it can be fictional because mice and rats cannot talk.

I really liked this book, because, unlike other books, it is split up into three different sections. With all three different sections focusing on a different character, it really add to the adventure and thinking process throughout the entire book.

I would strongly recommend this to a friend. This book is entertaining, adventurous, and action packed! This book is a great book for all ages. B
