Rating: Summary: A favorite of mine that I passed down to my niece Review: This is an excellent book about friendships..friendships between two very different creatures--a pig and a spider. Charlotte's Web was one of those books that I remember reading all the way through--I couldn't put it down--I had to keep reading to find out things. Last year, my niece turned 10, and I decided to give her a copy of this wonderful story that I remember growing up with.
Rating: Summary: All time favorite children's book Review: I still remember my fourth grade teacher reading this book to us every day after lunch. The descriptions are so vivid, I felt like I was right there. It's a great vocabulary builder and contains classic values. I now use it in my own classroom and the kids love it.

Rating: Summary: No matter what age you are, you must read this book Review: I am an English major at a private liberal arts college who spends her time reading many of the world's greatest pieces of literature and, still, this remains my favorite book. Any hopeful writer should attempt to craft their work at E.B. White's level. For an author to be able to touch the lives of both children and adults through a passage of fifty years shows talent. The book covers wonderful ideas such as friendship, sad facts such as death, but even contains many touches of humor (Check out the chapter entitled, "The Miracle": Charlotte has just written "some pig" in her web. Mr. Zuckerman quickly believes that Wilbur is no ordinary pig. His wife responds to his quick belief in the unusualness of the pig, by stating," 'It seems to me you're a little off. It seems to me we have no ordinary spider,'" to which Mr. Zuckerman responds, " 'Oh, no. It's the pig that's unusual. It says so, right there in the middle of the web.'"). So, stop waiting for kids to show up in your life and just sit down and read the book. You'll giggle, you'll cry, and at the end you'll agree that, "it's not often that someone comes along who is a good writer and a true friend. Charlotte was both."

Rating: Summary: A Children's Classic That Will Not Let You Down Review: As many others have said here, this is an adorable children's classic that has been read by many children for many decades. I have fond memories of reading this book as a classroom assignment in fourth grade. My oldest son is now in first grade, and I am helping him read this book on his own. We take turns, he reads 3 paragraphs, then it's my turn to read 3 paragraphs. There are many valuable lessons that can be learned from this book. It is about real-life issues such as life, love, boredom, and death. It even provides a lesson in vocabulary, as Wilbur is always asking Charlotte what the big words that she uses mean. This is a perfect book for children ages 6-12. I wish more parents could spend time reading books like this to their children in place of the time that gets spent playing video games and watching TV. This book is a wonderful addition to all the other children's classics that make our world a better place!
Rating: Summary: Brandi Singleton's Review Review: This book is by E.B. Whites.This is a really great book. My favorite character is Wilber which I love pigs. There is a spider named Charlotte. The book is the 50th Anniversary Edition. It's a funny and humorous book. It's very a touching story that tells about a spider that builds a web named SOME PIG! You really should check this book out and hope you enjoy it.
