This book published in 1945 is a chapter book about a mouse growing up in a family of humans. Stuart goes out on an adventure and ends up in a lot of interesting situations for a mouse, such as driving a boat. I would recommend this book!

It dawned on me only recently that this beloved children‘s author was the same guy who kept my grammar in check with my well-worn copy of Strunk & White‘s “The Elements of Style”! 😁 I enjoyed this oddly entertaining read, even more so when I read that E.B. thought himself rather mousy-looking and also had a pet mouse.🤔 Superb narration by vintage actress Julie Harris(East of Eden, The Belle of Amherst)

I absolutely loved this book as a child, so I was excited to read it for #ChildrensClassicRead2022. Sadly, I found that some of the magic has worn off with the passing of the years. It's still a sweet book, but it feels a bit too dated now. I also found myself wishing there was more of a plot to tie the events of each chapter together. But Stuart's adventures are still appealing and I enjoyed the read. 3.5 ⭐ @TheBookHippie #Pantone2022 @Clwojick

Clwojick Great match! 2y
TheBookHippie ♥️ 2y
AnnR @julieclair Pretty color match! After rereading it this month, I share a similar opinion to yours about Stuart Little. The illustrations by Garth Williams are still adorable though. 2y
julieclair @Ann_Reads I listened to it on audio, so didn‘t get to see the illustrations. 😕 But I imagine they added quite a bit of charm. 2y

this book is unbelievably stupid. Stuart is the most one-dimensional protagonist I‘ve ever encountered. He might be the least interesting character in literature. And the story sucks. There‘s no plot arc; it‘s like a series of random vignettes. And then it just, like….ends! It‘s like the author got abducted by aliens before he could get to the last chapter!

Every once in a while, I‘ll finish working on an episode of my book podcast and think to myself, “That was exactly what I imagined when I first came up with the idea for the show!” That‘s what happened with Episode 154, all about E.B. White‘s classic Stuart Little! My conversation with award-winning author Deb Caletti is equal parts sentimental and “I‘m sorry… what?” 🐭🛶 Check it out at the link in my bio!

Can you believe Ive never read this!? Well prob when I was a kid but I didnt remember it. It held up really well for being written in 1945. It was such a cute story and novel idea of a mouse being a son part of a family. I loved the movie when I was a kid.

smjohns I read all E.B. White when my oldest daughter was young. She loved Stuart Little and Trumpet of the Swan. 3y

Finished this last week but forgot to review. Pretty surprised I went my whole childhood never reading it, only saw the movies. Honestly Stuart kind of comes off as a jerk in the book 😂 and the it reads more like a series of short stories rather than one continuous narrative. The ending felt unresolved and unsatisfying. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #BookSpinBingo

Nute Super cute bingo board! 4y
TheAromaofBooks I was never a big fan of the way this book ended, either. Even though White's books are considered childhood classics, they weren't really favorites of mine. 4y

“How about a nip of brandy?” said Stuart. “I‘m chilled to the bone.”
But his mother made him some hot broth instead, and put him to bed in
his cigarette box with a doll‘s hot-water bottle against his feet. Even so, Stuart caught a bad cold, and this turned into bronchitis, and Stuart had to stay in bed for almost two weeks.

So Tim Federle inspired me to make my own bookish cocktail. Here‘s “A Nip of Brandy”

I remember listening to my teacher read this to my class when I was little. I remember thinking about how life would look as a tiny mouse. As an adult, I am struggling to see the appeal. Growing up changes your perspective.

There are cute moments and a bit of E.B. White magic, but this book just didn't have the same charm as his other novels. The narrative felt like little vignettes rather than a logically flowing story and the premise was a bit awkward. In addition, the ending is weak and incomplete. Definitely a disappointment.

Stuart is an interesting character, though I felt his family could use more development. They felt a bit generic, but I suppose the book is a little too little to explore the Littles! It feels like a story to read chapters from nightly considering how Stuart‘s adventures seem to always tie themselves up neatly within a chapter. There‘s not much of an overarching story until the second half, but it‘s a fanciful modern-ish fairytale from the start.

LibrarianRyan You missed this growing up. thank goodness you are reading it now. The movie is okay, but it is not the book. Even Michael j Fox can not give it that power. 5y
IamIamIam @LibrarianRyan I really slacked off as a kid. I mean, I read a ton but I feel like I read the same things over and over again! Then I found my mom's 80s horror books and it was all over at about 11. Lol... I'm glad I missed some stuff, though, because The Phantom Tollbooth was definitely better for me as an adult. It would have been cute as a kid but I was rolling!!! 5y
LibrarianRyan @IamIamIam I do that. I too enjoyed phantom tollbooth better as an adult then I did as a kid. Well except for the movie. That i liked better as a kid. 5y
IamIamIam @LibrarianRyan Ha! I didn't even know there was a movie! I should find it and show the kids! 5y
LibrarianRyan @IamIamIam Yeah, it's half real, half animated. It was from the early 70's. I saw it way before I ever read the book. It was played frequently on Navy TV when we lived in Guam. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064806/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 5y
IamIamIam @LibrarianRyan YOU LIVED IN GUAM?!? In high school, I wanted to apply to the University of Guam for my self esteem because I heard they didn't reject anyone. 😂 That's so cool!!! Did you enjoy your time there? 5y

Stuart Little looks like and is the size of a mouse, but he is actually a child of human parents. This strange children‘s book tells of Stuart‘s adventures in New York and his search for his bird friend, Margalo, who has flown away. I was a fan of Stuart‘s courage and vocabulary, but this imaginative, classic story is somewhat disjointed and leaves the conflict unresolved.

“How many of you know what‘s important?” Up went all the hands. “Harry, you tell us what is important.”
“A shaft of sunlight at the end of a dark afternoon, a note in music, and the way the back of a baby‘s neck smells if its mother keeps it tidy,” answered Henry.
“Correct,”said Stuart. Those are the important things. You forgot one thing, though. Mary Bendix,
what did Henry forget?“ “He forgot ice cream with chocolate sauce on it,”... Exactly!”

The illustrator foremost in my mind lately is Garth Williams. I've been revisiting many childhood favorites with my son and come to find out they were all illustrated by him. Also the versions of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books I read as a child.
