Stuart Little by E.B. White
2.0
I can see the charm of the book for some people and my kids (7 and 5 years old) absolutely loved it as a read aloud. I had a harder time with it.
Each chapter in the book is like it's own short story all connected loosely to the overall plot (very common for children's classics). The stories often felt random to me and I would have liked to see more of a plot. When we did get more (about halfway through), the chapters then went back to random (and I do mean random) adventures along Stuart's journey and then the book just ends without even trying to tie up the loose ends of the plot. That was really frustrating for me.
It isn't a bad book. It has a whimsical feel and if you like adventure children's classics, this might be one to try. It just wasn't for me.
