I am a mom who reads to her children at night. This was a beautiful and well written story.My children and I greatly enjoyed it. The only drawback to this book, though was that is was so good that I found myself reading to the children longer than I should have because we all enjoyed the story. Parents, should you read this book to your children you may have to be flexible about bed time for a few nights!

I am so thrilled to have read this book! It is about a mouse, princess, some soup and a spool of red thread! If you think this book is not good at all you are WRONG! This is not an insulting book , if you read carefully you would understand it. This is a book you need to read till the end in order to understand it. Plus it goes back in time!

What a horrible book. It is like I am in a time machine and am back to second grade. It bored me to sleep and it is a total wast of time to read. Not to mention the book is not even on spark notes and cliff notes.

by m.m x-cellent book!
To those who don't like this book, knock yourselves out. This is one of the best books I've ever read. There are tons of twists to leave you thinking. Best of all, the tale of Despereaux picks you up and basically won't let go with all the excitement, but it won't make you get so OVER-EXITED that you burst! so take my advice, its an A+++++book! u would also think its great if you're doing a book report be cause its easy!

I thought that this book was really good and should be enjoyed by all ages. It was about a mouse who is portayed as a human. He likes to read and loves music. He finds a beautiful princess and falls in love with her. In the end.....( Read to find out)
