Rating: Summary: A TANGLED STORY Review: Absolutely pointless book to read. I felt no feelings towards any of the characters. I really didn't care that Wilbur won first prize. And how in the world does a pig and a spider become friends? It's beyond me. The back of a cereal box has more excitement than this book. I was forced to read it at least five times and have found it grueling. Even as a child I found the plot very far-fetched. It is because of this horrid book that I eat sausage every morning and tell my dad to kill every spider I see. It is a traumatic, coma-enducing story that has changed my life forever. In conclusion I feel no one should be put through such torture and this book should be banned from every school, library, and bookstore in the Milky Way.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Writing Review: I recently bought Charlotte's Web because I'm planning to write a children's book and wanted to get an idea of what sort of language would be acceptable at this level. Well, all I can say is that the writing is pure, brisk, fast-moving and beautiful, and that it carries the story of Wilbur, Fern and Charlotte with the effortless brilliance that simply cannot be taught. The innocence of the story, with its bucolic farm setting and old-time values, is a marvelous vehicle for a story that deals with friendship, death, loss, and change in a manner more interesting than in many of the adult books that purport to take them as their object. I was not only touched and gratified by the writing, but also by the story itself, which was honest and brave in presenting the things that are the stuff of life, but without any of the preaching, lecturing or patronizing PC nonsense that so horribly afflicts children's writing today. White's book is for people who want their children to read chldren's literature, not some throw-away lecture about "tolerance," and I recommend it without reservation. I'm amazed that I never read it as a child, but it was one of the best reads I've had in some time, even as I approach 40.
Rating: Summary: My all time favorite book (and I'm 20 years old!) Review: My third grade teacher read this book to my class and as she was reading it aloud to us, I bought my own copy and read along. It was the first "big girl book" I ever read and remains a favorite of my mine to this day! This book is responsible for my love of reading. It teaches a very valuable lesson in friendship that can be appreiciated by people of all ages! I highly recommend this book to children of ALL ages!
Rating: Summary: spiders pigs and other things Review: The first reason why I wanted to read this book is beacause it looked like it was sad. I started reading it and there was a little action in it about the father who wanted to kill this little runt because he thought that it wouldn't live. The father did't kill the runt because the little girl Fern stopped him from killing it. At the end of the book that runt won race and won a medal. So it wasn't worth killing the little runt after all. That was my opinon of the book.
Rating: Summary: Charlotte's web : Comment from 27 years old guy Review: I read this book about 15 years ago as part of the assignment when I was in school. Last week, when I tried to organize my books. I accidentally found "Charlotte's Web". I began reading this book again and quickly finish within 2 days. The relationship between Wilber and Charlotte would be a good lesson for children. Without the help from Charlotte, WIlber would definitely be killed and even finally it was a little bit sad, but it is the way of life. I wouldn't go for the detail of the story, you should read it yourself. This book is beautifully written and easy to understand. Other animals in the farm also made the story sometimes funny. It will give a lot of imagination for children. By the way I'm now 27 but still enjoy this such wonderful story.

Rating: Summary: A must for all children's library Review: This friendship themed classic is part of the wonderful E.B White legacy. It has a great meaning that should be read to all children. The focus of the book is between a great relationship between a pig and a spider. Their relationship and dedication for each other should be practiced in schools (and offices) everywhere. I would recommend this classic tale to grade schoolers. The movie is also worth a watch.

Rating: Summary: Amazing Story. And it's not just for kids! Review: This is a beautiful story which I read when I was about 11 and I have never forgotten the story and it's a book that I never get tired of. It's a story about friendship, hope and love. I strongly recommend it: for children who will learn about friendship, love and hope as well as for adults: who needs a little reminder of what is still present in the world.
