"I liked it a lot because Stuart met a Margalo and Harriet. Stuart Little is only 2 1/4 inches tall. Margalo left because one of the cats were going to get her so she left North to give with her friends and Stuart went to go find her. " — Samantha (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was fun to read with the little girls. They liked Stuart and his adventures; I liked the old-fashioned-ness of the story and the descriptive details throughout it. I'm sure we'll be reading this again in the coming years. "
" Stuart goes on alot of adventures to find a bird named Margola. He leaves him home, family and friends. "
" Best adventure book for a boy or girl. Great as a read-aloud, or for a reader aged 6 and up. "
" We enjoyed it! My boys especially soaked up the boat race and the antics of Stuart's automobile. "
" What was with the ending? Did it just end there?I think I liked Snowball, but I can't really remember this book... "
" I thought that this was a good chapter book. It would be a great book to have children do a movie and book review on. It is an easy read and I think that all children would enjoy reading it! "
" It was a wonderful read in elementary school, although it doesn't hold my attention quite as well as E.B. White's OTHER masterpiece... "
" This is about a family and one of their children was a mouse. "
" Stuart Little is another one of my first chapter reads. This is a great adventure story. This book captures community, family, friendship, and conflict. This is also a great way to introduce the comparison of text and media. "
" I thought this was a classic, but it was kind of odd. The chapters were different adventures and there was no real conclusion. Not all of the stories made sense, either. But my daughter loved reading it and asked for it every night. "
" This doesn't compare to E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, but it is a fun read-aloud anyway. I would've given it 3.5 stars, so I rounded up. "
" Read this to my 5 year old, and he liked it! "
