The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread

My 5 year old and I absolutely loved this book. The moment it was finished he asked to read it over again. It is definitely not a simple book; the language can be advanced even for an adult, and many characters suffer trauma that is physical, psychological, maybe even existential. Had I read this book previously, I probably would have waited until my child was 6 or 7. Still, I loved the ending, which highlighted the healing power of vulnerability and empathy and granted most characters to a reasonable amount of redemption.

A história e as ilustrações do livro são ótimas, mas não gostei tanto da edição, é um livro em um tamanho mediano (eu achei pequeno, mas não chega a ser edição de bolso) e sem orelha. O selo na capa perde facilmente a cor. Mas no fim das contas achei que valeu o preço.

Aunque decía de uso, realmente está en excelente estado, las hojas no están dobladas.

小さいねずみ(Mouse)のDesperauxが、愛と使命に導かれ、美しい(人間の)姫を救出する物語。うーん、可愛らしいおとぎ話である。、、、にはとどまりません。そこには城の大広間と地下牢、MouseとRatなど、光の世界と影の世界が描かれています。そして皆、光に恋焦がれるのです。 光を知らずに生きて来たのに、ある日その美しさを知ってしまったRat、、、。主人公ではないですが彼の切なさは大人にも響くのではないでしょうか。

Great adventure book set in a castle in France. Story of a small mouse with a big heart. Some scary and sad parts, but overall a wonderful story.
