The Tale of Despereaux

This is a classic story. It is a magical tale that dives into the point of view of different characters - the readers gets to swim around in their heads. This story teaches how to be true to yourself and how to love and care for someone that is different than you. There is danger, kidnapping, poverty, villains and heroes. I love any story that teaches others how to accept people for who they are.

Kids would like it because it's fun, exciting, and magical. It has also been made into a movie - I find that kids like to read books when they can also watch a movie to put their pictures in their head onto the big screen.
