Stuart Little
- By E.B. White
- Genre: Fantasy
Common Sense Media says
Excellent bridge from chapter books to novels.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this book is an excellent bridge between chapter books and full-length novels. Stuart is both valiant and very polite. He encounters several dangers because of his size, but the mood stays light and imaginative.

A wonderful children's book
My parents read this book aloud to me when I was in preschool, and I was fascinated by Stuart's adventures, which only became more interesting once I read it by myself. All of E.B. White's childrens books are fantastic (especially Trumpet of the Swan), and kids will only wish that the book was longer! Since it is a chapter book with few pictures, it's best read a little at a time with younger kids.

Really Silly: As a teacher
As a teacher I would say that this book is very boring and horrible. I read it to my students and they thought that it was B-O-R-I-N-G!

Extremely disappointing.
I thought this book was rather disappointing. The review here states that Stuart is valiant and polite and while those are nice characteristics to have, I think that it is overshadowed by his self-pity toward the end. The book kind of falls apart in the last chapters and barely seems to have any continuity. I was trying to justify it by looking for some higher allegorical meaning - but any conclusions that could be drawn seemed to be far too adult for any child of elementary school age to understand or appreciate.
