The Tale of Despereaux was written by Kate DiCamillo. This fairytale features the character Despereaux Tilling, a mouse with very large ears. It is a tale of an unlikely hero. It is a very entertaining story with some important underlying messages about being yourself and that an interesting fate often awaits those that don't conform. This story contains a mix or wit and humor. DiCamillo's use of language is fantastic bringing "voice" to the story. It reminds me of Grimm's fairy tales. DiCamillo was also the author of Because of Winn Dixie.
