While I would not necessarily say I was left wanting more, I was definitely left feeling like I was missing something. Like, Stuart drove off into the sunset looking for Margalo, and that’s that. While it was all fine and dandy and I was okay with it happening (primarily because it was the only real plot of the novel), I was a little put off that the story itself did not end. It was cool and all that people accepted her, but it was weird nonetheless. Like, I get that it’s a children’s story, but still… that’s weird, right? Another giant (or, should I say, little) difference was the tiny human girl.Like a human girl - the size of a mouse. Little had naturally birthed a mouse as a child and kept living life. I thought that was very weird, and no one even truly questioned it. For starters, Stuart Little was born into the Little family - not adopted. However, the screenwriters strayed quite far from their inspiration. The movies are so great and bring back such happy memories that I was hoping to recreate this nostalgia with the novel. Review: I’m going to start by saying I had much higher hopes for this book. However, after she flies away unexpectedly, he sets out to find her and bring her home. He even becomes best friends with a beautiful little bird, Margalo. He has many grand adventures, such as being a substitute teacher or racing a miniature sailboat. Frederick Little have just had a new son and they are overjoyed! The only thing is, he seems to be a mouse.
