Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the book Stuart Little by E. B. White.
A boy named Stuart is born to an ordinary Family in New York City. He is normal in every way except that he is only over 2 inches (5cm) tall and looks exactly like a mouse. At First, the family is concerned with how Stuart will survive in a human sized world, but by the age of seven, he speaks, thinks and behaves on the level of a human of sixteen and shows surprising ingenuity in adapting, performing such helpful family tasks as fishing his mother's wedding ring from a sink drain. The Family's cat Snowbell, dislikes Stuart because while he feels a natural instinct to chase him, he is aware that Stuart is a human family member and is thus off-limits.
On a cold winter's day, the family discovers a songbird named Margalo half-frozen on their doorstep. Margalo is taken in and spends the winter in the family home, where she befriends Stuart: Stuart in turn protects her from Snowbell. The Bird replays his kindness by rescuing Stuart when he is trapped in a garbage can and shipped out to sea for disposal. In the spring, when she is set free from the house, she continues to visit Stuart, infuriating Snowbell, who now finds himself with two small animals he is not allowed to eat.
Snowbell makes a deal with the Angora cat to eat Margalo to get rid of one of his temptations (Reasoning it's only wrong if he eats her). Margalo is warned and flees in the middle of the night. Stuart is heartbroken but becomes determined to find her. He first goes to the local dentist, Dr. Carey. The dentist's patient, Edward Clydesdale, suggests that Margalo may have flown to Connecticut, and Dr. Carey Loans Stuart his Screw powered Motorcycle for the long journey.
Stuart travels from Adventure to Adventure and finds himself in the town of Ames Crossing, where he takes work as a substitute teacher. There he learns that living in Ames Crossing is a 15 year old girl named Harriet Ames who is the same size as Stuart but looks like a human being. Stuart purchases a miniature souvenir canoe, prepping it to make It comfortable and waterproof, and invites Harriet out on a boating date. However, when the two arrive for the date, the canoe has been discovered and played with by local children, who have ruined it. Harriet tries to be polite but is put off by Stuart's sulking over his broken boat. Stuart decides to Leave Ames Crossing and continue on his quest to find Margalo. He sets off once more in his car thinking that he will never see her again.

The Book has become widely recognized as a classic in children's Literature and Garth Williams has subsequently award-winning artist.
I came across Stuart Little through the 1999 movie which star actors Hugh Laure, Greena Davies as Mr and Mrs Little and Michael J. Fox as the voice of Stuart Little himself. I struggled to read the book personally, which can happen when you see a movie or book adaption before reading the Book first. However I do recommend reading the book as a whole before watching the movies, especially for those with younger children. I give the book as a whole a 5/10.
