HE IS NOT A MOUSE

Description: This is a screenshot of the "Stuart Little" Wikipedia. The excerpt reads "A boy named Stuart is born to an ordinary family in New York City. He is normal in every way except that he is only just over two inches (5 cm) tall and looks exactly like a mouse"

The overview is even more explicit

The book is a realistic yet fantastical story about a mouse-like human boy named Stuart Little.

realistic yet fantastical

It’s a genre called magical realism.

I never read the books, but this sounds like what they mean.
