Reviews
Stuart Little is E.B. White's classic tale of a little mouse who has some great big adventures. It's a perfect read-aloud book for little ones, or a great chapter book for elementary school-aged kids to tackle on their own. White's prose is warm and enjoyable for kids and adults alike. The illustrations throughout this edition really helped my 3.5-year-old follow the story throughout the book too!
