The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

5.0

Oh my GOD this book. Very serious things about empathy and family and hard choices and being true to yourself and .... and also meditations on soup. With talking mice and rats. I did this as a read aloud for my 7yo and it was absolutely perfect for that. And the 9yo could not resist joining in, despite knowing the end.
