For the next Brown Bag Book Club meeting at noon on Thursday, December 6th
at WTBBL, led by children's services librarian Mandy, we will discuss The
Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo! 

 

A 2004 Newbery Medal-winning fantasy book, the main plot follows the
adventures of a mouse named Despereaux Tilling, and he sets out on his quest
to rescue a beautiful human princess. 

 

In a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one
of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children." It was one of the "Top 100
Chapter Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal."The
Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a
Spool of Thread" by Kate DiCamillo, the 2004 Newbery Medal Winner for "the
most distinguished contribution to American Literature for children."
