Tales of Despereaux Quotes
Emily(5) … “I thought it was good. It was really laid out well and you want to see what’s happening but you don’t want to skip ahead in the book. You’re like, oh let’s read some more, but you can’t because you are running out of time to do something and you want to see what’s going to happen but you can’t. It gets your nerves up like… oh I want to see it, I want to see it!”
Olivia (5)…. “I like how all of the characters fit in with the story. I liked how it was well-thought out. I liked Despereaux because he is adventurous.”
Thomas (5)… “It goes forward and then it goes backwards. There are three stories in one. I like it because it was about animals, mice really. I liked how rodents and people act. People don’t like them but rodents think that people are interesting and evil.”
Katie (4)… “I liked it because it had a good plot but it wasn’t like there were tons of characters. There was two different points of view, it just seemed like what different people were thinking so you could see it different ways.”
Henri (6)… “I liked it because it is about rats. It was very interesting. My favorite character was Gregory because he was the only person who was in the jail. He could see all around and knew how to get back.”
Patrick (5)… “I liked the book because it is a really good book about a little mouse that everyone treats poorly. He keeps finding new friends, like Princess Pea. I like how he talks to people and I like how he went down to the jail and didn’t really know what was down there. He was scared and he was brave.”
Avery (5)… “I liked the story because it was about mouse and I generally like those kinds of books. Despereaux was really, really brave and I like books about people who are brave also. I also liked that the mouse could read. I thought that was really interesting and how that brings up a really big part in the story. I also like how the mouse and the rat became friends. I also like the fact that Despereaux replaces his tail with a red string. I thought it was really creative.”
