Stuart heads off for the library and asks the librarian if she has any books that might be appropriate for a little mouse like him. While she offers advice, Stuart notices that there is an owl on a perch near the librarian's desk. He is not so sure that he wants to be anywhere near this predator. Reassured that Bookworm is nocturnal and not a threat, Stuart heads off to read his favorite books. He falls asleep and when he awakes, it is night. Now he is prey. Will Bookworm do him in because Stuart has learned something that Bookworm doesn't want anyone to know? Fans of Stuart Little will enjoy this new adventure in this "An I Can Read Book" for younger kids able to read on their own. 2002, HarperCollins,
