David says:
I liked this book because the little mouse saved the princess. I think it was wrong to have soup be illegal so I am glad that at the end it wasn’t illegal.
I didn’t like that they stole the princess because that’s mean and bad. I also didn’t like that they chopped off the mouse’s tail. I also didn’t like that Mig got hit in the ears so often.
My favorite characters were Despereaux and the princess. The mouse was nice and brave and the princess was kind to everyone. My least favorite characters were the rats, the brother, Roscuro, and Botticelli because they were all mean. The two rats lied and tricked people.
But I did like the ending because no one died and I love how Despereaux and the princess ended up friends in the end!
Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
That was one of my sons favorite books when he was younger!
