Right! Kate DiCamillo has a great way with words and it lends the story a very pleasant tone.

I agree that a large part of the charm of this book is the voice. My children read it when they were 10 and 7, and we all loved it.

I haven’t seen the cartoon movie, but I can understand why it might not be as good as the book. Part of the allure of “The Tale of Despereaux” is Kate DiCamillo’s great writing voice. You just can’t capture that in a movie.

I always wondered if this book was any good because I sort of thought the cartoon movie they made was boring. Please feel free to visit my sight.
