However, the crickets in the chameleon’s cage that are kept as food for the chameleon end up eating the chameleon instead!Īmara wants a pet snake but Raina plainly refuses because of her past experience of stepping on a dead snake. Three fishes die, and when the family realizes fishes are too sensitive, they get a chameleon. However, when they do finally end up getting pets, everything that can possibly go wrong, does. Raina and her sister, Amara, have always wanted pets. This book goes between “present time” and flashbacks a lot which may seem confusing but the flashbacks are illustrated on yellow paper and they are there at the most appropriate of times. This book did a really good job of giving me insight into how life with a sibling would function and even (temporarily) convinced me that it wasn’t a good idea by showing me the terrifying situations that the sisters often find themselves in. Honestly, I’ve wanted an older sibling for the longest time and I feel like even though I have pets, it’s just not the same.

In Williams’s illustration, Stuart’s clothespin-and-cigarette-box bed is irresistibly charming but rumpled and untidy, surrounded by the playful flotsam of a rambunctious kid’s bedroom. He was as serious and playful as White’s text. In “Stuart Little,” the hallmarks of his style are already apparent: Stuart was both mouselike and dapper, anthropomorphized in a way that expressed the dignity and absurdity of the human condition and the animal condition alike. Williams was hired he went on to become one of the most important children’s-book illustrators in American history. (That is probably a silly detail to pass on to you, but it was somehow encouraging to us.) Williams had him lying down in the first sketch but changed it because he was afraid he might look like a little dead mouse if he were lying down. For instance, in the picture of the doctor examining Stuart, Stuart is standing up. He was careful about lots of small but important details. Williams didn’t mean it that way and, in fact, said it all much better than I am saying it.). (This sounds very dull and literal, I’m afraid, but Mr. Williams) should be pretty consistent in the proportions in most of the pictures.
