The Tale of Despereaux

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo is about a mouse knight!

Despereaux was born small, with his eyes open, and with the biggest mouse ears his family had ever seen. He could also read. In fact, he was not your average castle mouse in any way.

And he does not have the average castle mouse life: he falls in love with the princess, is sentanced to death in the dungeon, looses his tail and saves the day.

Overall a cute book. And yesterday, a kid yelled, "Hey, I read that book!" when he saw me reading it.
