I love it too. No, I did not read it in second grade, but it was still good neverless.
sorry, but i hated this book. i mean, the queen died because a rat fell in her soup??? that's just so dumb. loved the cute illustrations, though.
she died because she had a heart attack or something. i liked it i read it like 3 times =)
great book!!! i <3 it!!!!
I read this in highschool and I loved it. XD
I read it the first time sick with a fever. I read along with the audio book. (I was only like 6 then, so hearing it helped me read it.) It's a great book :P
I don't which is cuter Despereaux or Reepicheep? help me decide with yours.
I think it's Desperaux. It really depends but I like Desperaux. :)
Because Desperaux has such adorable big ears but then Reepicheep is such a brave and cute hero.
who is Reepicheep?
I read this book the first time in third grade and now I'm a high school sophomore... Still love it!

A mouse talking...saving the day....rats talking....not saving the day...pretty much yha.
Oh and there's this thing called fiction. It's where people make up whatever they want to......
It wasn't about talking rodents, it was about finding light, even at your darkest hour. i love this book, such a great story, and message
This is a great book at any age.
I read it at 40 and really loved it!

I read en wen i re the book was very increible.end was very foni.end very good.
my cousin gave me this book a few christmases ago and I read it and really enjoyed it.I would recommend it to any looking for a good heartwarming story
I think I read this in fifth grade and it became one of the my favorite books (and still is). The illustrations are so cute and charming, and the whole story reminds me of a traditional fairy tale. I especially like how the author addresses her audience as individuals ("dear reader"). It is a very personal and heartfelt way of telling the story, and I think she did a swell job.
I've read this to my kids twice & they really loved it. The like the parts when we have to go look up words for their definitions and I love the language through out. It was such a sweet story.
great book. my fourth, fifth and third grade teachers read it to the class.
This book was so depressing! It's a kid's book right? And a fairytale-type one at that. So where's the Happily Ever After?There were places in this book where I laughed, but I thought that the rat was a bit overtly dark and the ending was---for lack of a better term---a let-down. *Sighs*
So there, I've said it. It was a cute story, but I thought it wasn't light and fluffy enough. : )

I guess the total lack of "light & fluffy" was why I liked it so much. So many children's stories are just that- fluff. This was a change & seemed to have more depth. Not every story ends in happily ever after.
But I can understand where that would be off putting.
Have you ever read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (by the same author)?
