The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

2.0

2.5, I read this to my younger students and honestly I found the plot a little too scattered for them to follow. Re-reading this as an adult I think that the part with Miggory Sow doesn’t need to be here; the kids were just waiting to hear about the Despereaux plot and all of the middle of the book was kind of boring. However the Despereaux storyline is super cute and I think the book should been much more focused on him and didn’t need so many other characters.
