Today’s review is brought to you by Leah’s seven year old daughter Emily! I hope you will give her a warm welcome as she shares our love of books!
What I like: I like how Despereaux is brave enough to go in to the dungeon to save the princess Pea. What I don’t like: I don’t like how Despereaux gets his tale cut off. This story is about a little mouse and his giant bravery. It is also about Miggery Sow who wants to be a princess.

My daughter read this book when she was 7 and loved it! We have thrown it around a few times as a possible selection for our mother-daughter book club.

Do you think my class would enjoy this book? Would boys like it? I’ve never heard of it.

What a wonderful book to start off reviewing. Good Job! I didn’t like that he got his tail cut off either.

Emily, Thanks for your great review! My son is too young for this book yet but we will keep it in mind!

Emily, what a wonderful way to begin reviewing books. I can’t wait until my daughters are old enough to read the books you’re reading. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Emily - thanks for sharing your review with us! My two older kids also enjoyed the book; I think I’ll pull it off the shelf to read to my 6-year-old.
