Product Description:


In his classic and beloved novel, E. B. White tells the memorable story of Wilbur, a little pig who becomes famous with the help of his clever friend Charlotte and their chatty animal neighbors. As the runt of the litter, Wilbur struggles to survive from the very beginning. Fern fights her father, Mr. Arable, to raise Wilbur and nurse him to health. Fern succeeds and Wilbur moves to the Zuckerman farm, where he learns the true meaning of friendship from the wise grey spider Charlotte. When it becomes apparent that Wilbur is being well fed for a reason, Charlotte and Wilbur are determined to foil Mr. Zuckerman's plans. With the help of Charlotte and her "terrific" webs, Templeton the rat, and other colorful barnyard friends, Wilbur becomes the prizewinning pig of the County Fair and the most famous pig ever.



Lessons of friendship, loyalty, and truth bind this story together and show readers that friends come in all shapes and sizes.



Illustrations by the artist Garth Williams bring to life these lovable characters. He is also the illustrator of E. B. White's Stuart Little.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good Story
Having a dual form of dyslexia I did not learn to read until later in life. Thus I never read children's books while a child. Maybe that is why I read so many still today. I read this as part of a children's literature course in university.

It is an interesting book, about friendship, commitment, compassion, change and death. As such it deals with a lot of the big questions of life in ways a child can grasp.

For me the most moving part was when Wilber confessed to Charlotte that he did not like the thought of her as a blood sucker, towards the end of her life. Only true friends can be that open and honest.

The book is a powerful tale of true friendship and how our close friends can transform not only us but those around us.

(First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Charlotte's Web
One of my favorite books of all time. The story about freindship and loyalty is so wonderful. If a spider and a pig can get along, why can't we humans all get along? A "feel good" book (though sad at times) if I ever read one.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great size for a read along
This book is a great size for a read along or for the children to follow. This is a wonderful story. All children should read this.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Book
I purchased this book for my great niece. I was very happy with it. Well worth the price.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Childhood favorite! Passing it down to my son.
Classic book and I want to read it to my son. I'm sure he'll appreciate it when he gets older. It was shipped in perfect condition. Thank you!
