How fascinating as everyone I talked to that had read the book and then saw Tale of Despereaux absolutely disliked the movie. They thought the mouse was "cute" but didn't like the flavor of the movie at all. They reacted so strongly that I didn't bother to go see the movie and have avoided purchasing a DVD of it for our school collection because I assumed no one would use it!
The same group really likes Holes and uses it after the kids finish with the book. They also love using the animated Charlotte's Web from many years ago. Having seen both that and the newer version with live actors, I prefer the animation but thought Dakota Fanning was a nice Fern. Erlene
