Everything about this book is *perfect*. The writing, the characters, the stories and how they're put together. Just perfect. It's absurd, it's kind, it's funny, it's harrowing, it's entertaining. I loved reading it with my son, and he loved it just as much.
Everett’s review (age 7):
I liked this book because Stuart Little was taken care of and he was treated like a human.
(She also gave it 5 stars — I would personally give it 3.5)

Having never read this as a child, I was glad to see it come home from school as this year's family book from the elementary school. While it gets points on creativity and cuteness, I found it a disappointment overall with one of the worst open-ended endings. While I wouldn't suggest as a general read, I can see using it as part of study on the author because of the creativity.

I had seen the Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie movie so many times, but I had never read the book. As I am now helping to facilitate a book group for children, I am reading what they select. This was the other facilitator's favorite book growing up, the kids voted and we read. I declined to re-watch the movie with all of them after the discussion part of the meeting. I loved it a lot and the kids all liked it. We had a great discussion about the mouse born to regular size people who is a great friend.
The swedish version I read had illustrations by Jenny Berggren and they was so lovely to look at and definitely added to the story. Although I didn't quite enjoy this as much as I thought. The premise is unique ad a quite fun one but didn't get attached to the story overall
Wo hat Margalo Stuarts Lieb gegangen? Wir werden nie wissen.
Vielleicht war Buch 2 geplant aber nie geschrieben.
Das ist ok. Whites zweite Buch, Charlotte und Wilbur, war sehr besser.
I highly recommend this book for German Learners at B1 level. The simple plot and vignette style of the chapters keeps things simple. The illustrations are enjoyable.
