With this combination of talents in the author, one has high hopes for the book, and Mr. The effect of smallness is deceptive-just as the effect of bigness is deceptive in the authors who imitate Walt Whitman they describe a world that is really bare and simple, whereas Mr. White describes in his essays is the world as a whole, and The liquid in the bottle had a sort of mixed flavor of cherry tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffy and hot buttered toast and whenĪlice drank it, she began shrinking until she was only ten inches high, so that she could look through a tiny door into the loveliest garden you ever saw. That Alice found there, the little bottle with "Drink Me" printed on the label. He has, moreover, a talent for making big things small and homely, as if he saw the world distinctly through the wrong end of a telescope or as if-to change the figure-he took his readers down the rabbit hole and showed them the bottle White has the best style of any American author: clear, unhackneyed and never tying the tongue into knots. Not to mention what it does to the listeners. Style is even more important in children's books than in those for adults, because one often reads aloud to children, and a bad style wearies the reader, Through The New Yorker, he merely takes more pains to explain his story. He never condescends to his readers: if they happen to be younger than the audience he reaches He has all the required talents, including a gift for making himself understood. Would write nothing less than a children's classic. If I also found it a little disappointing, perhaps that is because I had been expecting that E. Little Stuart is a very engaging hero, and "Stuart Little" is an entertaining book, whether for children or their parents. "Better look at the oil, too," he would say before riding off to look for a brownish bird, in much the same spirit as Galahad seeking the Grail. "Five drops," Stuart would answer in a firm if squeaky voice. "Five what?" the attendant would ask, looking down at the car not half so big as a scooter. He would drive into a filing station and say, "Five, please." When Margalo flew away to the north the following spring, Stuart went searching for her in a toy automobile with a real engine. He would have drowned that time, except for a friend of his, a little wrenlike bird named Margalo, who let him cling to her feet and carried him back to his own window sill. The can was emptied into a truck, the truck was emptied into a scow, and Stuart wasĬarried out to sea. Once he tried to go skating in Central Park but a dog chased him, and he had to hide in a celery grove on top of a garbage can. The blind rolled up and Stuart was imprisoned Once he tried to do gymnastics on the cord that hung from the window blind, to impress the household cat. In his pleasant, mouselike manner, shy but inquisitive, he was always getting into scrapes. He wore a gray hat and twirled a little cane. He weighed three and one-half ounces and was a little more than two inches tall, not counting the tail. At the age of 7, when he was fully grown, At birth he was so small that a three-cent stamp would have carried him anywhere in the United States. Named him, had a mouse's sharp nose, a mouse's whiskers and a mouse's tail. Little were normal persons in every way, their second son looked very much like a mouse. Hear Julie Andrews read from "Stuart Little".OctoStuart Little: Or New York Through the Eyes of a Mouse Stuart Little By E.B.

In fact, the day that I saw it there was only one child in a nearly full theater and I had the feeling that many of the adults there had seen it before. This is a story of acceptance, unconditional love and of a great deal of caring - even though you may be a little "different." This is a "not to be missed" film - and adults will enjoy it as much as children do. Stuart, who just happens to be a very charming white mouse, is adopted by a very special family - the incomparable Gina Davis and the ever amazing Hugh Laurie.
