Let me express a tad of gratitude to the committee for choosing Tale of Despereaux as the Newbery winner. This book is a delight. The story brings romance, in the literary sense, to children who are just opening their eyes to literature. It provides a plot that can be easily understood with characters that are vivid in detail. Children will understand the theme that correlates light with enlightenment. I love the style that it is written in because it immediately engages the reader and assumes that he will be an
?interactive? participant. The fact that the text is written in print that fourth graders can interpret makes it a good book to read alone and a great one for parents and teachers to read aloud. You did a fabulous job. Thanks so much!
