Query: Okay for grownups - not great for kids

I read this book to my five-year-old. I was expecting a wonderful adventure story and was disappointed - so was he. It started out fine - with descriptions of Stuart's family situation and the struggles he had with being "like a mouse." But the story quickly went south as Stuart went north to look for his bird friend. He simply leaves his family and doesn't seem to miss them because he is so obsessed with this bird. Some of the situations were funny to me as an adult but were totally lost on my child. Therefore, I think this would be a good book for adults but not a good story for kids. We rented the movie this weekend and it was much better than the book (I don't think I've ever thought that before!)
