The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread | Kate DiCamillo

"'Oh,' he said, 'it sounds like heaven. It smells like honey.'" I love the imagery in this book! I look forward to reading the rest of the book! #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsReads

This book was hard to put down the first time I read it, and still is this second time through! I love how brave Despereaux is. He is willing to stand up for right is right even when others don‘t agree. That is very admirable. For now I have to put the book down, but I cannot wait to pick it up again. #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsReads

delaney_cg Isn't it amazing how brave he is for such a small mouse? I'm even more amazed at his bravery since his family is always calling him a disappointment! He truly isn't bound by the thoughts of others. We could learn something from him. I can't wait to keep reading too! 5y

Zmohammad I think this book has an awesome overall message for individualism! I like that it sends the message that we all can be different, but we must not belittle anyone for it. 5y

DrSpalding I love this picture!❤️📚 4y

Finished reading the First Book in The Tale of Despereaux! I have so many questions...My first question is: How will Gregory the Jailor help Despereaux escape the dungeon? I wonder if by telling Gregory stories then Despereaux will be freed. I also wonder why Gregory even wants this little mouse to tell him stories. Maybe Gregory is lonely and wants a friend? #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsReads 📚

KristenD Isn‘t it so hard to put this book down? I am glad you are enjoying it!! I cannot wait for you to get your questions answered! 💕 5y

Read three chapters while enjoying a cup of coffee ☕️ in my spring time mug 💐 I think the book starts out sad - no one seems to love Despereaux. Even his name means despair 💔 But could this little mouse have a special gift for reading? 📚 #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsReads

Daniellepeds That would be so cool if he could read! Maybe his family would start being nice to him? 5y

MeganKlein Hey Maggie! I agree that the story starts out really sad. I‘m hoping as the story goes on that Despereaux‘s family will become kinder towards him. 5y

Zmohammad I am wondering if his family will stand up for his uniqueness in the end 🤔 5y

Book Club Discussion Question 1: How does Despereaux‘s dream about the knight help him on his quest? #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsReads

DrSpalding I read this book many years ago when it won the Newbery. I will have to go back and brush up on the details! This book is very interesting in that it is written in four mini-books inside the one novel. Looking forward to seeing the posts!❤️📚 5y
