The Toughest Critics in New York Take Their Seats!
It's Newberry Award season and my fourth grade classes just read The Tale of Desperaux and got a special suprise when our principal allowed us to attend The Tale of Desperaux movie.
The project started with a First Book distribution which gave each child a copy of the book. We got more excited as we started to watch all the movie signs and television commericals.
Here is what we have to say -
Kristina
"If I was a critic I would give four stars to the movie, "Tale of Desperaux. Why, you ask?, because the original book gave a lot of parts, but the movie was exciting in my opinion. What I like from the movie was that they mentioned mouseworld and ratworld."
Lauren
"The thing I don't like about the movie is that they take out alot of important parts and put not so important parts in and they switch evertything around."
Rodolfo
"My reaction was so excited when the movie started. I got comfortable and started eating my popcorns. The movie was funnybecause Desperaux was born with long ears. My favorite part is when Desperaux did not get scared when the the school teacher showed a dangerous knife."
Vartan
"I would say the book was better than the movie. I think the movie needed more action too it."
Valentina
"I like saying Desperaux, Desperaux, Desperaux, Desperaux Tilling." The movie was great, but I truly love the book. It has more detail and it's longer which made it much better.
Rosie
"What I did not like about the movie was there were lots of parts missing of the story and they didn't put lots of action in the movie."
Overall, it seems that the book was the overwhelming class favorite. Stay tuned as we learn more about what the Newberry medal is in the upcoming weeks and listen for the exciting announcement of the 2009 Winner.
