I simply love the book and I really think that Kate Dicamillo is the best author in the world. But Jk. Rowling who wrote the Harry Potter series is better
Kate DiCamillo is the best children's author writing today. I love some others, but I can say without a doubt that her writing will stand as classic literature in years to come. Rowling not so much.
Can't wait to take the kids to see the movie... My oldest has read the book three times. The trailer looks adorable! Those ears are so cute.
Very cute mouse & technically a treat! Can't wait to read the book, movie was a disappointment :( Storyline was sad & little children were asking their mothers to leave (half way through). Visually atractive but dark story. Not for kids (or adults either). Save your $.
