The Tale of Despereaux: Literature Unit

We are starting a literature unit on the book The Tale of Despereaux. I found the following 20 page teachers guide for the book. It has some great activities and resource that can be adapted for the homeschool setting. You will need the book, an additional book, Weslandia, copies made and general classroom suplies to do the lessons in the teachers guide.

Also the book is being turned into a new animated movie!! So after we read it and do the literature unit, it will be a fun treat to see the movie.
