A Story for All Time
In this fable, Desperaux, a disappointingly tiny mouse, must overcome his fears of the horrible, dark, rat-filled dungeon in order to save the Princess Pea. Kate DiCamillo has written what is sure to be a classic fairy tale, as worthy as any by the Brothers Grimm, to be told and re-told for years to come. There is bravery, deceit, aspirations and sacrifice all told in the voice of a narrator that addresses and engages the reader. This book is fabulous as a read-aloud!
