Summary: my daughter's review
Review: I am letting my six year old daughter do this review... I liked charlotte's Web because it is a really good story. I liked the funny parts about Templeton and when Lurvy chases Wilber and tries to put him back into his pen. I also liked when Charlotte saved Wilber by writing in her web. It was sad at the end but I also felt happy when Wilber made new friends. This would be a good book for other kids to read because it's a a story of friendship. Good job, now it's time for bed!

Summary: A pig and A spider freinds?
Review: A pig and a spider best freinds. In this book a pig and a spider are best frinds. Their names are Wilbur and Charlotte. This took place when a penny was a lot like $1. Wilbur owner was thinking about to kill Wilbur. The pig did not want to die so Charlotte writes words in her web so people would think that the pig was special. Fern did not want him to die because Wilbur was her first pet to take care of. I recommend people to read this book because it is exciting and enjoyable but at the end it is also sad. This book is called "Charlott's Web and the aurtor is E.W. White. Go out and look for it and read it.

Summary: WOW! WONDERFUL BOOK!
Review: Absolutely Wonderful Book!
Charlotte's Web was written by E.B. White. It is the wonderful book that is about a young girl named Fern who befriends the pig named Wilbur. Fern is the one of the main characters in this story. She tries to save Wilbur' life from her father. Then Wilbur was sold to Mr. Zuckerman, her uncle who lives on the farm. While Wilbur stays at that farm, Fern always to visit and play with him every day after school. In that farm, he has many friends such as a rat named Templeton, and a friendly spider named Charlotte. Charlotte is a true friend to him that we can see from the story that she tries to save his life from Mr. Zuckerman, that he will kill Wilbur to be the food. Then she can save Wilbur' life and make him becomes popular by spin her web into the words that says about Wilbur such as "Some Pig" and "Terrible"
These words cause him still a life and famous. There are many people that want to see him. The story is happy ending.
This book is one of the great books that I ever read. It is the fantastic book that is about the animals that they can talk and understand in each other and also they can talk to a young girl. But in real life the animal and human can not talk with each other. This book is also about the true friendship that is pig (Wilbur) and a spider (Charlotte) that they are willing to do anything to each other. That we can see from Charlotte tries to do everything that will protect her friend from death. I think that if in one life we have the true friend that can do any thing to us an always to help and stand beside us when we have any problems, it will make us be happy forever.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: A favorite of mine since I was a kid. Charlotte the spider and the other animals in the farm do the best to save Wilbur the pig from the axe...a young girl hears what the animals are saying and along with the strange happenings at the farm (concerning Wilbur) it makes for a good book. Pass it on to your kids.

Summary: We Should Learn From the Animals
Review: Charlotte's Web, written by, E.B. White, a 200-page, black and white paperback starts at Wilbur's birth and continues through with the reader wondering if Wilbur is going to live or die. Because Wilbur is born small, he is to be slaughtered but Fern, an eight-year old little girl, begs and pleads with her dad not to kill him. The dad agrees, only if she takes him under her care. Wilbur grows up under Fern's care but she reluctantly sells him to the Zuckerman's, at two months of age. The Zuckerman's owns a small farm with friendly farm animals, including Wilbur as the only pig. The farm animals are nice to Wilbur yet don't want to play with him because Wilbur is going to get slaughtered soon anyway. Charlotte, who Wilbur meets last on the farm, is an intelligent female spider that can spell words on her web, treats Wilbur differently from the other farm animals. She quickly becomes Wilbur's best and only friend who spends the rest of her life thinking of clever ways, saving him from his death. Does Wilbur finally get slaughtered in the end? You'll need to read the book to find out.

The author of the book implies, a great theme that all of us should consider, that true friends are those who are willing to think of plans that will protect you from death. All of the farm animals view Wilbur's slaughter as the norm so they do nothing to try to stop Wilbur's death, except for Charlotte, who spends night after night trying to think of plans to save him. Charlotte cares enough about him to take up her own valuable time, such as preparing for her off-spring while spinning words in her web, that read, "some pig", to buy more time for Wilbur's life (78). If more people had true friends such as Charlotte, we would all be worry free; therefore love each other more and have less violence around us.

Though a great theme, the author had trouble relating and making relevant to the theme, some chapters and characters in the book, for example, the chapter, "Dr. Dorain", is about Fern's mother going to see a Doctor with concerns that Fern may be having a mental problem (107). It was odd for her to believe that it is possible for Fern to hear the farm animal's conversations. This chapter and character doesn't match how the story displays because Charlotte, the spider, was able to spell words with her web without people questioning, how is it possible for a spider to spell? Even though there were irrelevant chapters and characters in the story, it is to a minimum. The theme is what makes the book fascinating for the story illustrates the meaning of a true friendship through a pig, Wilbur, and a spider, Charlotte. In our lives we need to realize the values of true friendships and give appreciation to those around us for being true friends.

You never know, a true friend may save you from death some day.
