The Tale of Despereaux

A friend and fellow book-grouper has been talking up this book for a number of months. She isn't the only fan. Her grandchildren also delight in the pages story. Apparently the Newbury Award people also thought it had some merit. The author, Kate DiCamillo also crafted Because of Winn Dixie. 

As I was looking for the book I also found it listed as The Tale of Despereaux being the story of a mouse, a princess, some soup, and a spool of thread. As I read more of this I thought..."really, a story about a mouse." Then, I remembered, some of my favorite books are about ferrets.
