How Was Stuart Little First Created?

       The author of the book Stuart Litle, E.B. White shows his creative imagination in his books. He lets it take control of his stories. In his stories, he includes interesting and wonderous topics about things that can't possibly be real in our world. But, his his stories he teaches lessons, and shows loyalty, intelligence, freindship, and love, and how none of those things can be too powerful for anything.

       For the book Stuart Litle, on the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Little, E.B. White explains that one night when he was sleeping in a railway car, he dreamt about a tiny boy much like Stuart. As he thought about this dream, Stuart Little continued to grow in his mind. This is very interesting because all of our dreams help us in a way to tell a message, or in any other way, they will also always help to let someone's imagination grow and wonder.

      For Stuart to be normal (or to be treated normally) by his family, Mr. and Mrs.Little decided not to use the m-word around him (mouse) so that he didn't feel out of place. Many were surpised that Mrs.Little's new son was very mouse like, so in the movie, Stuart is said to be adopted, rather than being born by Mrs.Little. An interesting fact about Stuart Litlle was that when it was published, many people that were actually named Stuart Little actually sent E.B. White letters saying how they were amused. But, one was furious and said that he would make a book called E.B. White! (http://www.factmonster.com/spot/stuartlittle1.html)
