| "When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse..." (from the first line) How terribly surprised the Little family must have been when their second child turned out to be a small mouse.At times, doesn't everyone feel like the sole mouse in a family--and a world--of extremely tall people? A special color edition on high quality paper. Annotation: Stuart Little, the Little's second son, looks very much like a mouse--he has whiskers, a long tail, and is only a little more than two inches tall. Dapper, elegant, and heroic, Stuart is content with his life in New York City, a dangerous yet exciting place for a mouse. Then he meets Margalo, a pretty bird whom the Littles had found half-dead on their doorstep and revived. When Margalo leaves without telling anyone, Stuart sets off in a little car to search for the love of his life.
