Kate DiCamillo,, Author of Tale of despereaux. According to the The New York Times, "she sets the stage for a battle between the forces of Darkness and Light in The Tale of Despereaux, and the book is a terrific, bravura performance". The story is said to be told "not only through paneled illustrations, but also through an ongoing narration, giving the tale more prose than most graphic novels". This book is "a heartwarming and rewarding read, The Tale of Despereaux cheers uniqueness, boos conformity, urges readers to overlook seeming differences, and inspires hope". This is a wonderful childrens book to read, it shows that even the tiniest of mouses can be brave, and stand up to the world. Also show the world that sometimes good things come in small packages.
