Stuart Little - Fantasy

As I've stated before, I am a huge E.B. White fan. I love, love, love Charlotte's Web. Since I've read that story several times and Trumpet of the Swan, I had to read Stuart Little. I actually bought the book about a year ago to read it for the fun of it. I chose to reread it because it is such a fantastic story.

For such a small mouse, Stuart has a great big personality. Even though his parents and brother are humans, Stuart is treated just like one of the family. You can assume his parents love him very much. I think Stuart has a great amount of character about him because even though he's so small, he doesn't want to be "babied" or have extra special treatment because of his size.

I love the different adventures Stuart goes on, many of which happen when he sets off to look for Margalo. In the end, the reader never really knows if Stuart ever catches up with Margalo or not. The reader must decide for himself. I don't really have any negative comments about the story, except the end, and it really isn't even negative. I wish the author wrote that Stuart found Margalo, they moved back to the Littles' apartment in New York City, and lived happily ever after. (Do you think I like the fairy tale genre?!) I don't like being left wondering.... Many other readers may like this, but I don't! :-) I guess it is a good thing for the reader to be able to finish the ending himself, so to speak.

E.B. White is an animal fantasy genius!
