Yes! We read it aloud as a bedtime book at home. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, but I didn't plan any activities to go with it. I'll think a little more about the story, and if I come up with any ideas, I'll share them here. = ) ~Jori |

We also read it together and really enjoyed it. But also didn't do any activities. Maybe making something red and talking about the significance of Despereaux receiving the red thread, that was the symbol that he'd been ostricized. I will have to think about this a little more also! Blessings, Carrie |
