This is a great tale, mostly about forgivness. If a child is haveing a difficulty with forgivenss this is a good book. I tried to read it to Lily (3 years old), she enjoyed most of it but some of it was a little to much for her. I really enjoyed it. it is very craftily written, and is intended to be read out loud to children. Thus it is written in a very conversational tone.
5 out of 5 stars
Languge: Some talk of blood and killing, no swearing.
Violence: A mouse and a rat loose there tails, a queen dies (scared to death). The rats are scary characters who love to make others suffer.
Morality: A child is geven away into slavery by here father, later there is forgivness and all is made right , but in the middle of the book this could scare a small child.
Age: 3-5 years old and up depending on how much of the story you read. all of Despareux's story is appropriate for a 3 year old, the rest of the book not till 4 or 5 years old.
