Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great author with three great books to share!
Review: All three books are pretty good. Charlottes web is the best with a cute little pig named wilbur longing for a friend. Stuart little is also a good book. You get to see the world through the eyes of a mouse. The third book-Trumpet of the swan-is only ok!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stuart Little
Review: E.B. White's book Charolette's Web is a wonderful childrens book as well as for adults. It is a great moral reading book for readers of all ages. This story is about two friends that are completely different but overcome the differences and become best friends. Charolette is a spider that lives in the corner of a barn where Wilbur the pig stays. Charolette is portrayed as a mother figure to Wilbur. Many people can related to this story. It is veryy conforting and has the happy ending that everyone loves. There is adventure and excitement through out the story. Children will find it humorous as well as interesting, whereas adults might see it as teaching a very good moral about life and the situations one is faced with everyday. E.B. White is a wonderful writer in the way that he is very discriptive through out the entirety of the book, which is great becuase you as the reader feel as though you are there in the barn with the characters. I enjoyed this book as a child and just recently reading it as an adult enjoyed just as much if not more because there are many meaningful things one can see now where as a child might not.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Triple Crown of White's Fictional Work
Review: My 6-year-old daughter and I throughly enjoyed all three stories.

Most Creative Story: The "Trumpet Swan" because of the way White takes the reader to different places and settings through the eyes of Louis the Swan.

Most Profound Story: "Charlotte's web". Of all my years of education it took this simple book to grasp a real appreciation of nature and the web of life.

Funniest Story: "Stuart Little". Most of us have on more than one occassion laughed ourselves to tears upon reading, hearing, or watching some funny event. My last time occurred when reading about the trials and tribulations that Stuart had to endure in order to wash himslef in the morning (Picturing him swinging a mallot to turn on the hot water was for me hysterically funny!). I found the Stuart Little of this book much more cute and amusing than the one in a recent movie with the same title.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stuart Little
Review: Stuart Little is a mouse that is about 2 inches tall. Stuart is part of the family of the Fredrick.C.Littles. He has a friendly but shy manner. He's very smart for a mouse but his size gives him trouble sometimes. His life is an adventure when he sets out on the age of seven,he trys to find his dearest friend,Margalo, a friendly little bird who stayed with the Littles in their Boston Fern.

Stuart Little is an interesting book. I enjoyed reading it beacause it was funny and it had interesting vocabulary. There were some sad parts in the book. This Book got me absorbed into it.

I would recommend this book for children of the ages of 8 to 12. If you like fantasy stories then you would love this book. If you are a person who likes certain kinds of fantasy books then you should probably enjoy Stuart Little because you may get absorbed into the book. Also if you like fantasy books that have animals in it that talk and you like the Author E.B.White then you'll like this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book - it has adventure and entertainment.
Review: The best part of this book was when the sail boat race took place. I liked that part because the policeman fell in the water. Also, I liked being able to see the world through a mouse's eyes. Margalo is a great character in the book because she is smart and she helped Stuart. I am looking forward to reading another book by E.B. White, such as Charlotte's Web and the Trumpet of the Swan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charlotte's Web/Stuart Little
Review: These 2 books are not just fun and adventure but inlaid with more in-depth meaning. Friendship, trust and encouragement between 2 different species Charlotte (the spider) and Wilbur (the pig) - applies to people as well, whether you are of different races or colour

Take another example Stuart Little, despite the fact that a cat traditionally catches mouse, Snowbell (the cat) dismisses this tradition to save and befriend Stuart Little (the mouse). What more, human parents chose to adopt a mouse instead of their own human being to display selfless love.

These 2 titles make good moral reading for children.

They have accompanied me through childhood to adulthood and has thought me to be sensitive to people's feelings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stuart Little is a good book
Review: This is the best book ever! Stuart Little,and Charlotte's Web rock! The Trumpet Of The Swan isn't as good,because it isn't as adventerous.I'd give it 99999999999999999999134 Stars if I could!
