This review is from: The Tale of Despereaux Movie Tie-In Storybook: The Mouse and the Princess (Paperback)

Candlewick Press did a wonderful job releasing the group of materials to supplement the movie.

My favorite was http://www.amazon.com/Tale-Despereaux-Movie-Tie-Storybook/dp/0763640743/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236204923&sr=8-3 The Deluxe StoryBook, but that is a "gentle" book that needs an adult to help with because it's a pop up and tears easily.

This one is great. It's a snippet of the movie, and a good "girls" book. My grandaughter read this in a flash and couldn't wait to pour through the others when her brothers were done, expecially the comic book version.

Hats off to Candlewick on a nice package for an excellent story. You owe it to yourself, though to read the full story. The movie, as most do, took some liberties.
