Adam is home sick today so we've spent the morning reading together. We had begun E. B. White's Stuart Little a few weeks ago, but hadn't picked it up in about a week. We finished it this morning. I had never read it before and would say it is just ok. White has this way of writing that is so simple, yet carries this quiet beauty. I thought the story itself was lacking though and when we finished, I blurted out that I liked Charlotte's Web better. Adam nodded and sighed, "I like Tale of Despereaux way better, Mom." I have to agree.
