Stuart Little by E. B. White

Stuart Little is a children's classic by E. B. White, but we were disappointed by it because it didn't seem to have a definite plot. It seemed more random, like it was just a collection of experiences, rather than the normal arc novels take wherein there is a specific problem and solution. At first it seemed like those elements would be present, but there was never any satisfying conclusion. It was as if the author lost interest in the original plot and just decided to quit. My oldest didn't enjoy the book at all, and honestly, neither did I. It was my first time reading the book, though I'd seen the 1999 movie adaptation before and had enjoyed that. I was unimpressed with the book, and I'm not sure I'll repeat reading it with my younger children. Despite this, I know many people love the story - it's a classic for a reason - so I'm still going to provide our questions and answers for you. This book is RL 3.9, which is a reading level equivalent to the end of third grade.
