Rating: Summary: CHARLOTTE'S WEB REVIEW Review: When I first looked at the cover of the book, I thought this book would be good. It had a picture of a pig on the cover. This book was about a pig and a spider, how the spider helps the pig , so the pig won't be eaten. Charlotte , the spider also helps him to become a champion. The pig's name was Wilbur. My favorite part was when Charlotte , the spider was making words in her web. It was so hilarious , I laughed alot. I liked the ending because the pig was sold to a nother farmer. The reason why I liked it so much was because it made me cry. It was so good, I didn't want it to end.
Rating: Summary: One of the best fiction books ever...... Review: I liked this book very much. I just finished reading it the other day. The book wasn't like most books. I liked it since the very beginning.One day on the Arables farm, some pigs were born. Fern's dad went outside to shoot one of them. Fern begged him not to. So he didn't. Fern told him that she could take care of the runt. She named the runt Wilbur. After a couple of weeks Fern sold the runt to her uncle, Mr. Zuckerman. Charlotte is a spider that comes to the barn cellar. Wilbur was afraid of dying so Charlotte saved him. She wrote one day in her web "Some pig". Wilbur always fit the words she wrote. In the end one of the characters died. My favorite part was went Wilbur tryed to escape the barn cellar. Lurvy and Mr. Zuckerman caught him though.
Rating: Summary: A Wonderful Book! Review: I thought this book was a wonderful book from start. I enjoyed all the characters. This book is jammed full of laughter, sadness, and adventure. This book is about a girl named Fern and a pig named Wilbur, which her father wanted to kill. This pig turns out to be a prize winning pig. My favorite part is when Charlotte puts all of those good things in her web about Wilbur and surprises all of those people. I especially enjoyed the ending mainly when Joy, Aranea, and Nellie, 3 of Charlotte's children, stayed at the barn with Wilbur.
Rating: Summary: Wish I Could Give This Book More Stars Review: I don't see why the other review writers didn't like this book.It's great,fantastic,and a must read.I would give the maximum number of stars,no matter how many stars allowed.But there is only 5.It deserves more than 100.More than 1,000.More than 1,000,000! Unlimited! But the endings for these E.B White books are a little sad (especially the one for Stuart Little,see my review on it.)But the good drowns out the sadness.Better than Stuart Little.In fact,I have to say that this is the best of all three books.I also wish there was a fourth book,like there is to Harry Potter,C.S Lewis,and Roald Dahl.The E.B White books rock the world of books!
Rating: Summary: Not just for 9-12 year-olds... Review: My mother first read this book to me when I was 5 years old. I read it to myself when I was 6. I think that the guidelines suggesting "Charlotte's Web" be for 9-12 year olds should be taken with a hearty grain of salt. The reading level of this book is not at all difficult. The only reason some people might hesitate to give it to a younger child is because Charlotte, the lovely spider, dies near the end of the story. However, death is presented in a beautiful and macrocosmic fashion that allows children to understand it as a part of a greater circle of life.
Rating: Summary: The Charlotte's Web Review Review: There was a pig that was a runt and they were going to kill the pig but Fren saved Wilberhe pig and rased him but he had to go.He had to live on a farm and Wilber was sad.But he made a friend.Then a sheep told Wilber winter was comeing and he would be killed.But his friend saved him.I like the book a lot.Ilike because it shows good friend ship.I would give five out of five.
Rating: Summary: Meanings on many levels! Review: This book is a classic, and I think this is because it is a simple story (life on a farm for a talking pig and his friends) with a very deep message about life, death, and the value and connection of all sentient beings. If you read this as a child, you may remember the friendship of poor Wilbur, doomed to die young. You'll recall that he's saved by his brilliant spider friend Charlotte, who weaves words into her web, in a way advertising Wilbur's uniqueness to the farmer and his daughter. You might also remember the goose, the rat and other friends who rally. Read this again as an adult, and you may find there's more to the story. When I read this story to my oldest child some 25 years ago, I was amazed at his tears at end. In fact, I'd forgotten that the wonderful Charlotte dies after laying hundreds and hundreds of spidery eggs. Wilbur (and my son) grieved over the 'unfairness' of this, although Charlotte in her wisdom knew that she (like all living beings) was are going to die. She left her heritage - not just her baby spiders (who 'know' Wilbur, since they were as one with their mother), but Wilbur, whose life she saved. A wonderful story, to be appreciated on many levels as you wish, from the most superficial to a deeper more spiritual one. Hardcover edition has been on our shelves for over 30 years!
Rating: Summary: Shannon's Review! Review: My favorite part was when the pig got a medal because it made me feel like I got it. I felt proud of the pig, Wilbur. The one part that was funny was when Mrs. Arable said to Mr. Zuckerman: "It's the buttermilk!" I would give this book 10 stars because when I read the end I thought to the beginning and the end and it really made sense. The spider was a good friend to the pig. The pig was a good friend to the spider. Templeton, the rat was funny when he bit the pig's tail. Wilbur woke up! Wilbur panicked! The book was just glorious!
Rating: Summary: It's a book for all ages! Review: I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!
Rating: Summary: The Fair Review: This book is not just for older kids, I am 7 and I loved it. I liked when Charlotte wrote the words in her web...and when Wilbur fainted and Templeton bit his tail...and when Lurvy dumped the water on Mr. Zuckerman and Avery.
