I think this is the first time I've ever read Stuart Little. Although there's a chance I read it as a kid. This was one of the first read alouds I've done with my children. I know this is a classic, but I thought it was a bit boring to be honest. My kids seemed to think so too. Also the ending was SO sudden. Not my favorite.

Stuart Little began irresistibly for my children and myself as there was a perfect blend of whimsy and fantasy. We greatly enjoyed the fact that Stuart Little's existence was absurd yet readily accepted by each character. The first half was full of humor, and we were really into the story when it concerned Stuart's adventures at his house and his interactions with his family. The narrative went downhill around the time that darn bird, Margalo was introduced.

Spoiler

It was pretty cool when she helped to save Stuart and he battled Snowbell on her behalf. But after she flew the coop, Stuart completely abandons his family, never to return.

This broke our hearts a bit, and the abrupt ending also came as a shock. We listed to the audiobook, and Julie Harris gave an outstanding performance by providing sound effects and a wide variety of character voices.
