The Tale of Despereaux

Dear People,

I have read a book called 'The Tale of Despereaux' (Des-per-oe).

It is written by Kate DiCamillo. She is one of my favorite authors. She has won a John Newberry Medal award. It is one of my favorite books and it is the #1 National Best Seller.

It's about a mouse that was born with his eyes open. But you'll have to read the book to find out the rest.

However I will tell you that Despereaux is a French name for sadness. You'll have to read the book to find out why his mother named him this. I loved the book and I know you will too!

Mama
