I am really loving how Despereaux is interacting/exploring his environment and the connection he has made with Princess Pea! So far I am really connecting with Despereaux, is there a character or part that you can connect with so far? #NCHPedsReads #MarPedsAcademy

"'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

MeganKlein This book has a great use of imagery and I‘m glad you pointed it out! It really makes you visualize what‘s going on in the story 😊 5y

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

Oh no! Despereaux got caught hanging out with the kind and his daughter!! I hope nothing bad happens to him when he has to go in front of the council. I wish his family was more kind and supportive towards him. #nchpedsreads

MeganKlein Danielle, I hope nothing bad happens to Despereaux also! I wonder how much longer he will be able to see Princess Pea. 5y

KristenD The mice think the humans are bad, but I think Despereaux is discovering it may not be the humans that are the problem for him. Especially with how nice princess pea is to him! 5y

delaney_cg I have no doubt that Despereaux will handle the council's decision with no fear. I love how he doesn't let the unkind words of others bound him. He just keeps being who he was made to be! I'm interested to see what the council decides! 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
