Stuart Little

By: E. B. White

Narrated by: Julie Harris

Stuart Little is a shy, philosophical little mouse with a big heart and a taste for adventure. In spite of his diminutive stature, barely two inches tall, Stuart sets forth into the world with some mighty big plans: to ride a Fifth Avenue bus, to win a sailboat race in Central Park, and to teach school for a day. But Stuart's greatest adventure begins when he decides to find his best friend, Margalo, a pretty little bird who once lived in a Boston fern in the Littles' house in New York City. Climbing into his tiny car, Stuart hits the open road, sure he's heading in the right direction, only to find himself in for a big surprise. Filled with warmth, wit, and wonder, Stuart Little is a timeless tale that speaks to the heroic spirit in all of us, no matter what our size.©1945, 1973 E. B. White (P)1991 Bantam

Clearly read at just the right pace to be understood by a child. A gentle read.

Any additional comments?

Excellent way to introduce a child to the pleasure of audio books. Each chapter stands on its own and captures the attention of the young listener. I enjoyed this book in my youth and found my grandson equally entertained.

Jack the knight

A classic, beautifully read. Julie Harris reads with feeling and humor. Our son listens to this over and over!

Love audio book Stuart Little

This is my first audio book. I very much enjoyed this very well read story.

great

I loved this book, and the ending was great. Also the ending was a cliffhanger and that was the great thing about this because you don't know if he found the bird or if he didn't find the bird

Kept us all thoroughly entertained

We loved this version of Stuart Little. Julie Harris has a wonderful voice and of course the story is timeless. My 8 year-old cackled through the whole story.

A classic tale beautifully told

What a joy to share this classic story with my boys - and to hear Julie Harris' elegant, gentle and wonderful reading of it! I vividly recall the way I felt discovering Stuart as an early reader. This narration brought that back.

Entertaining

What made the experience of listening to Stuart Little the most enjoyable?

My 7 year old daughter enjoys audio books. This is one that she can listen to when her friends are here. When she has a sleep over and they wont stop giggling - I can turn this on and they will listen and be quiet. I dont have to worry about the content - its appropriate and they enjoy it. She has listened to it many times.

Who was your favorite character and why?
