Summary (from cover blurb):

He’s one small mouse on one very big adventure.

Stuart Little is no ordinary mouse. Born to a family of humans, he lives in New York City with his parents, his older brother George, and Snowbell the cat. Though he’s shy and thoughtful, he’s also a true lover of adventure.

Stuart’s greatest adventure comes when his best friend, a beautiful little bird named Margalo, disappears from her nest. Determined to track her down, Stuart ventures away from home for the very first time in his life. He finds adventure aplenty. But will he find his friend?

Review:

This is a good book because it’s about this mouse that likes to travel and it takes place in New York. Stuart is different because he’s a regular mouse but he acts like a human and he does all kinds of great stuff. One time he was a substitute teacher. I would definitely read more books like this. At first I wasn’t sure that it would be good when my mom recommended, but I tried it anyway and it’s a great book.
