Book Description

October 14, 2008 5 and upK and up
Early readers will be in their element with this appealing storybook starring Despereaux Tilling, a tiny mouse graced with oversized ears who was born too big for his little world. The tale follows Despereaux on his adventures from Mouse World, where he is born, to the castle library, the princess's chambers, and even a rat-filled dungeon. With the love of Princess Pea and the friendship of a unique rat named Roscuro, Despereaux finds the courage of a knight in shining armor.

Kate DiCamillo's literary classic about Despereaux Tilling has enchanted children and adults around the globe. In this tale of bravery, forgiveness and redemption, one small creature teaches a kingdom that it takes only a little light to show the truth: What you look like doesn't equal what you are. Published in 23 languages, with more than 2 million copies in print, a New York Times #1 bestseller and winner of the Newbery Medal, The Tale of Despereaux is now animated adventure from Universal Pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Movie Tie In for Beginning Readers, October 16, 2008
This review is from: No Ordinary Mouse (The Tale of Despereaux) (Paperback)
This is a cute movie tie in book for beginning readers. I teach ESOL students and believe that this book will intrigue some of my beginning readers. It has nice pictures and I bet the movie is good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice story flow, June 24, 2009
By 
Alix (Westboro, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Ordinary Mouse (The Tale of Despereaux) (Paperback)
The flow of the story is nice in this book. It doesn't flow exactly like the movie but that is unimportant as the story is still communicated easily and nicely here. If you like Despereaux, this would be a good short book to have that covers that main story. I wish there were more pictures because they did a good job selecting the pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice tie in: Comic Book version, March 4, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No Ordinary Mouse (The Tale of Despereaux) (Paperback)
This was my grandson's first exposure to comic books as it took the movie he'd seen, and the story he'd had as a read aloud and put it in another form. He curled up on the couch and read it cover to cover in an evening. The author did a nice job catching the action of the story and the illustrations are enchanting.

Bravo.
