Stuart Little #3

By now I have come to the realization that I will never have time to go get a new book, so I am going to finish this one and then pick a new one.

Stuart is hungry so he slips inside the refrigerator, and assumes that Mrs. Little has seen him. His assumption was wrong and he quickly realized that he was stuck in there. Luckily Mrs. Little opened up the refrigerator door 30 minutes later and saved poor Stuart. Stuart wasn't out of trouble yet, because Stuart caught a cold that quickly turned into bronchitis, which kept him in bed for 2 weeks. Mrs. Little is doing the dishes when she sees a bird that appears dead on the windowsill she quickly takes it in the house and figures out that it isn't dead at all. Stuart meets the bird (whose name is Margalo), and decides that she is a very nice bird. He finds out that she wil be sleeping in the fern in the living room, and he is worried for her because he remembers Snowball the cat. Stuart devises a plot to protect Margalo. Stuart makes a bow and arrows, and when night falls he positions himself upon a vantage point of the fern. When the clock struck 10 Snowball entered and was about to pounce on Margalo, but Stuart shot Snowball in his left ear which thwarted his evil plans. The next day Stuart was going to go ice skating so he went outside and traveled in the direction of the lake. A dog came so Stuart hid in a trash can. The garbage men came and dumped the trash and Stuart into the truck! The truck drove until it got to the ocean where it dumped all its trash onto a ship. Stuart new that the trash would be dumped out at sea where he would drown, he prepared to die like a man. Suddenly Stuart sees Margalo and she quickly picks him up and takes him back home, saving his life.

Stuart Little #2

Unfortunately this week I could not make it to the library because I have been too busy but hopefully next week I will get a different book.

George is afraid that Stuart is lost and attempts to pry open the floorboards and look for him. Mr. and Mrs. Little strongly disaprove and make him stop. George whose first plot was foiled decides that sticking applesauce in the mousehole is a great alternative. Mr. Little becomes fed up and tells George to let him handle the situation. The family searches all around the house and yet they still cannot find Stuart. After lunch Mrs. Little says "Stuart must be dead", to which George replies "If he is dead,we ought to pull down the shades all throughout the house.". George pulled down the shade that Stuart was in and out he flew. Stuart takes the bus to the pond and asks a man sailing a toy boat if he can captain the vessel. The man says of course, if you can beat that other boat in a race. Stuart agrees to those terms and gets ready for the race. Many people hear of the race, and flock to the pond to see it. The race starts, but just about as soon as it does the people start pushing to see and they push a policeman in the water. The policeman causes a huge wave that knocks Stuart off his boat. Stuart climbs back aboard the vessel and continues the race. As Stuart is racing he crashes into a paper bag and gets stuck, but he quickly dispatches it with his pocketknife and continues the race. Stuart wins the race and is invited to sail the ship any time he wants.

I read up to page 47.

Stuart Little

Alright I didn't have time to visit the library so I started reading the book Stuart Little by E.B. White(I have not read this book yet). I guess I will be reading this till I visit the library.

A child is born to two human parents and he is a mouse! The family has named him Stuart Little. The little family resides in New York City, and they consist of Mrs. Little, Mr. Little, Stuart Little, Snowball (the Little's cat),and George Little (Stuarts's older brother.) One day Mrs. Little loses her ring down the bathtub drain and they send Stuart down the to fetch it. Stuart makes it back safetly. Stuart shows off his muscles to Snowball and gets caught in the shades. Snowball is devious and takes his hat and puts it by a mousehole. When Mr. and Mrs. Little come they think Stuart has gone into the mousehole, because they can't hear him screaming for help.

I read 20 pages, this week and I will read more and keep you posted next week.
