A hardcover edition of this treasured story, for which Garth
Williams''s original black-and-white line drawings for the jacket of
＂Stuart Little＂ have been colorized by the celebrated illustrator
Rosemary Wells. 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
內容簡介：
"How terribly surprised the Little family must have been when
their second child turned out to be a small mouse. Apparently
familiar with the axiom that ""when in New York City, anything can
happen,"" the Littles accept young Stuart into their family
unquestioningly--with the exception of Snowbell the cat who is
unable to overcome his instinctive dislike for the little mouse.
They build him a bed from a matchbox, and supply him with all of
the accoutrements a young mouse could need. Mrs. Little even
fashions him a suit, because baby clothes would obviously be
unsuitable for such a sophisticated mouse. In return, Stuart helps
his tall family with errant Ping-Pong balls that roll outside of
their reach.
E. B. White takes Stuart on a hero''s quest across the American
countryside, introducing the mouse--and the reader--to a myriad of
delightful characters. Little finds himself embroiled in one
adventure after another from the excitement of racing sailboats to
the unseen horrors of substitute teaching. This is a story of
leaving home for the first time, of growing up, and ultimately of
discovering oneself. At times, doesn''t everyone feel like the sole
mouse in a family--and a world--of extremely tall people? Ages 9
to 12 "
