Tale of Despereaux

My daughter Julia (8) & I just finished reading "The Tale of Despereaux" by Kate DiCamillo. It was a heartwearming, lovely story about a mouse, a rat, and a princess. While you might initially mistake it for a "fairy tale," this one was not your ordinary princess story. There is tragedy, adventure, suspense and last but not least, love (the essence of every fairy tale, wouldn't you agree)? This one, in my opinion, is a "must read" -- a tale that I'd love to read over and over again.
