Have you read the Newbery medal-winning novel The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo? This delightful book tells the story of a small mouse with big ears, the princess that he loves, a servant girl who longs to be a princess, and the devious rat determined to bring them all to ruin. And now this wonderful story has been made into a movie featuring the talents of such actors as Matthew Broderick, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Watson and Kevin Kline. It opens December 19 at a theater near you.
This would be a great book to read together as a family either before or after seeing the movie. It's always fun to compare the book with the movie. Stop by the library and check out a copy, or get on the waiting list if all copies are checked out. This is a great book worth waiting for!
