Stuart Little
In 1945, an author named E. B. White wrote
a book called Stuart Little. Mr. White wrote this book
for children, but it is a story that adults love too.
Recently, this book was made into a popular movie which is now showing in
theaters. Now another group of children and adults are enjoying the story
of Stuart Little because of the movie, but many people will probably
still like the book better because of E. B. White's wonderful
ability to write well.
The story is about Stuart, a small mous who is part of
a human family. Stuart is very small, just over two inches
tall, but he doesn't let his small size get in the way very much.
He has many adventures in the family home and outside also. He has a
brother named George and a mother and a father. One time, his
brother lowered him into a sink drain to save his mother's ring. She was
very grate full and called him her hero. His biggest problem is, of
course, the family cat.
Stuart had a love in his life, Margallo a bird,
who one day flew away. Stuart decided to go and find her, so he
went on a road trip into the country. His travels brought him to a town
called Ames Crossing, which is beautifully described by the author.
E. B. White wrote about a mous and his world for
children, but the beauty of his writing and the spirit of this small
creature make it a story for all people, young and old, who enjoy a
good story that is well told.
