Stuart Little by E. B. White

I found this paperback in the free "Little Library" box down the street. It's a classic, so I thought I would read it and consider giving it to John and Henry afterwards. The illustrations are by Garth Williams and are quite delightful. They have just the right touch of humor that is evident in the story. Stuart Little is a tiny mouse born into a human family in New York and he has marvelous little adventures. They are interesting because Stuart has challenges because he's a mouse trying to make it in a human world. He has tiny little clothes and furniture show White's creativity. The story is charming, but I'm not sure it would hold the interest of my grandsons... I will probably offer it to them because it's a sweet story, but I won't be surprised if it's too tame to pique their interest. They are into Harry Potter now, so this may be too down to (literally) earth!
