Born to a family of humans he lives in New York City with his parents, his older brother George and Snowball the cat. He's an adventurous and heroic little mouse. When his best friend, a beautiful little bird called Margalo disappears from her nest, Stuart is determined to track her down.

He kept animals on his farm in Maine and some of these creatures crept into his books, such as STUART LITTLE which was made into a film in 2000 starring Hugh Lawrie. E. B. White received many awards including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal in 1970, an award given every five years to authors who have 'made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children'.
Jag tycker boken är okej. Inte jättebra och inte jättedålig. Jag gillar att det Stuart är annorlunda och att familjen accepterar det. Det jag inte gillar är författarens språk (det kan vara översättningen också). Det är en ganska gammal bok men språket är på tok för gammalt för min smak och till den tänkta åldern. Jag gillar även att Stuart träffar så många kompisar under bokens gång. Jag gillar även det mesta av handlingen. Ibland känns det dock som att det är olika böcker i samma bok. Handlingen hänger inte alltid ihop.
Jag gillar inte riktigt avslutet på boken. Det var alldeles för tvärt, enligt mig.
En helt okej högläsningsbok ändå eftersom jag tycker budskapet är viktigt med att acceptera alla som dom är.
