Description
Stuart Little is no ordinary mouse. Born to a family of humans he lives in New York City with his parents, his older brother George and Snowball the cat. Though he's shy and thoughtful, he's an adventurous and heroic little mouse. His daring escapades include racing a toy boat in a Central Park pond, retrieving his mother's ring from a drain, and crawling inside a piano to fix the keys for his brother. When his best friend, a beautiful little bird called Margalo disappears from her nest, Stuart is determined to track her down. He ventures away from home for the very first time in his life and finds himself embroiled in one exciting adventure after another, making new friends and meeting old ones along the way
Also available in A Puffin Book:
CHARLOTTE'S WEB, STUART LITTLE and THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN by E. B. White
E. B. White was born in New York in 1899 and died in 1985. He kept animals on his farm in Maine and some of these creatures crept into his books, such as STUART LITTLE which was made into a film in 2000 starring Hugh Lawrie.
E. B. White received many awards including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal in 1970, an award given every five years to authors who have 'made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children'.

Better than charlottes web, but it is incomplete.
I love his writing style. It is light hearted and full of interesting ideas and personified animals (which in this case is kind of weird). All those little adventures are fun to read and he goes of on fun tangents that ultimately dont bother with the overall story but add this nice feeling to the book. This book, while on the same level as the trumpet swan, just ends. Margolo is never found. It literally just ends in the middle of Stuarts quest. The little girl chapter is also super weird and stuart is even partially unlikable. Overall though very entertaining.
