Stuart Little derived from one of his dreams sleeping on a train. This was White’s first children book he wrote. It was about a young New Yorker who was a shy, pleasant manner of a mouse. Stuart Little is not like any other mouse that we have came in contact with. He’s a mouse who lives in New York City, but most strangely he was born to a family of humans. Stuart lives with his parents, his brother, and his cat Snowbell. Even though he was a shy and caring mouse, he was also a big lover to adventure. In this book it shows how the theme loyalty comes into play. By when Stuart had went out one of the biggest and greatest adventures probably in his life. When a beautiful bird named Margalo had disappeared from her nest one day. He was determined to find her and bring her back. That shows that a true friend would always be there for you. Even if you went missing it shows that they were loyal to you when they were trying to find you.
White did his research on the book Charlottes Web on a near by farm that he own in Maine. Charlottes Web tells a story how a spider name Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur grow to have a wonderful friendship. When one of the sheep from the barn tells Wilbur that he going to be eaten and ate for Christmas dinner he asked Charlotte for advice and to save him. Once again this book shows loyalty when Charlotte spelled wonderful words into her web to show that Wilbur wasn’t just any other pig. That he was a fun and adventurous pig. But if it wasn’t for Charlotte’s efforts by staying loyal to Wilbur he probably would not have lived.
