I think that The Tale of Desperaux is a great book. It’s about this teeny mouse that the king mistook for a bug, and he has huge ears for his size. He was born with his eyes open and lives in a castle. His french mother named him Desperaux. He isn’t an ordinary mouse. He isn’t crazy for cheese, or food, and he doesn’t eat paper. He can read! He insists that there, every day, is some kind of sweet beautiful music, coming from somwhere. “It sounds like honey,” he says. Then one day he decides to follow it, and he winds up tangled in a mess including Rorusco the rat, cauliflower-eared Miggery Sow, light, soup, a hen, a red tablecloth, a handful of cigarettes, and a quest through the dungeon to save the Princess Pea.
