Stuart meets a bird who moves in with the family.In a throwaway paragraph, Stuart is trapped in the refrigerator and almost dies.There is a big race where Stuart pilots one of the model boats in Central Park.Stuart is only found after everyone thinks he’s dead and they lower the blinds out of mourning and grief. Stuart accidentally gets himself wrapped up in the blinds and the cat, who witnessed it, not only keeps mum about it but tries to make the Littles think that Stuart has gone down a mouse-hole.They don’t seem to think this is potentially hazardous to their son who happens to look just like a mouse. Mostly these adventures involve Stuart almost dying.They occasionally involve him being helpful due to his small size, and these are kind of cute. It is kind of cute but also kind of morbid to read in front of your kid. They censor themselves to avoid mouse violence, mostly in rhyme, including Three Blind Mice. “I should feel badly to have my son grow up fearing that a farmer’s wife was going to cut off his tail with a carving knife,” Mr. Stuart’s parents are very concerned that his mouse-ness will affect him negatively.SHE GAVE BIRTH TO A MOUSE AND EVERYONE IS ODDLY COOL WITH THAT. Stuart doesn’t just live with this family.A doctor confirms that Stuart has the same vital statistics as a mouse, so you’d think that would be enough, but it isn’t. At least, everyone keeps saying “he looks like a mouse” rather than confirming actual mouse-dom. Things You Don’t Remember About Stuart Little
