Tale of Despereaux, by Kate DiCamillo

Summary: DiCamillo's cherished Newbery Medal winner receives a stunning new treatment in a slipcased edition featuring 24 new full-color illustrations specially created for this collectible gift edition.
Category: Adventure
Review: This book is mostly about a mouse but also has a story about a rat, a princess and a farm girl. Everyone in the story learns a lesson about love and how to forgive. Also they learn that it is ok to be different and to want something that they can't have.
Favorite Part: I liked that even though Despereaux was teased for being really small he was happy in the end.
Least Favorite Part: Some of the dungeon parts were not so great but they still made the story good in the long run.
