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

5.0

WOW. I love Kate DiCamillo. Books like these are why I prefer children's books to adult books most of the time. It's a tale of adventure, betrayal, kindness, courage, and empathy, but most of all it's a tale of love. For a children's adventure story with talking mice and rats, it's a surprisingly realistic tale.
