![]() This is a chapter book, but the chapters are short and the text is not dense, so you should be able to get at least to chapter VII, “The Sailboat Race.” At times, doesn't everyone feel like the sole mouse in a family-and a world-of extremely tall people? ![]() ![]() This is a story of leaving home for the first time, of growing up, and ultimately of discovering oneself. Little finds himself embroiled in one adventure after another from the excitement of racing sailboats to the unseen horrors of substitute teaching. White takes Stuart on a hero's quest across the American countryside, introducing the mouse-and the reader-to a myriad of delightful characters. In return, Stuart helps his tall family with errant Ping-Pong balls that roll outside of their reach.Į. Little even fashions him a suit, because baby clothes would obviously be unsuitable for such a sophisticated mouse. They build him a bed from a matchbox, and supply him with all of the accoutrements a young mouse could need. Apparently familiar with the axiom that "when in New York City, anything can happen," the Littles accept young Stuart into their family unquestioningly-with the exception of Snowbell the feline who is unable to overcome his instinctive dislike for the little mouse.
