It was another fun-filled week of reading and movie watching and this time the star of the show was Stuart Little. The book is fifteen chapters of adventures that this mouse-like boy (or boy-like mouse) has in the big world. Aaron listened to the imaginative stories intently as Stuart figured out how to make the best of the situations in which he found himself.
This link gives a much more thoughtful analysis and includes study questions and assignments for older students. We are just enjoying reading E.B. White and will give “The Trumpet of the Swan” a turn next.
We finished the book last night and so this afternoon was time to enjoy the movie. It was cute family film full of adventure, but nothing like the book in terms of story line. I’ll never understand why Hollywood feels the need to add a couple of incidental curse words (d**m) and (what the HE double hockey sticks) that were so quick and unimportant that Aaron didn’t notice them, but an older child likely would. But, besides the potty mouth cats, it was an enjoyable story of acceptance, friendship, family and courage.
