Fun sneak peek at movie

My kids are big fans of The Tale of Despereaux, so they were excited to read this book. It's not the same as the original story. It's not meant to be. Children should definitely read the classic original book first. But this is a fun, easy-to read version of the movie. We are all looking forward to watching this film soon!
