Almost as soon as the day he was born Stuart Little was asking for brandy and smokes. Did Mrs. Little birth a grown man, ala ??? No, she birthed a mouse, apparently.
These are tall tales of a rather short stature, but that doesn't diminish their enjoyment. In his clean, straight forward style E. B. White laid down a loosely connected collection of stories about a charming little guy in a big world, using size to some good comic effect through out.
On the downside, Stuart Little lacks the pathos and cohesiveness of White's most famous work, Charlotte's Web, and the ending trails off in a puff of cliff-hanging whimsy. Ah well, not everything you produce can be your best.

I used to read this to my students instead of Charlotte's Web because I couldn't stop crying when Charlotte dies.
