Summary: A wonderful story - inspiration for "Babe"?
Review: I have read this book a number of times, ond loved it everytime! It is a wonderful tale of an uncommon friendship, overcominghardship, and believing in yourself and your own worth. Watching the movie "Babe" reminded me of this book, but "Charlotte's Web" has so much more! A great book for young and old!

Summary: Want to Know Charlotte's Web?
Review: This is a wonderful book-sometimes a tear-jerker, sometimes witty and wise. A well-written book.

Note to the Teacher: Draw attention to the season by using Guilded-questions. Example, "What season was it when the newborns pigs, geese, and other animals babies were being born."

Summary: A children's classic
Review: What classroom doesn't have this book sitting on one of its shelves. This story is a classic and well deservedly so. The story shows the simple love that children have towards pets. Another theme would be that of friendship lasting for a lifetime. What children get out of this story affects their attitudes towards others that may be differnet or not so spectacular. Every dog or should I say pig has its day.

Thenew people were going to kill him but, Charlotte thought of a way to save Wilbur. Wilbur was put in a contest at a fair because of what Charlotte was doing.

Summary: An American Treasure
Review: Children's books are big, dry sticks poking around the nearly dead fire of adult imagination: They can ignite us. The best literature from children's shelves speaks volumes to grown-ups, and none more than Charlotte's Web. We adults need to be reminded that "[i]t isn't often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer." Who in our lives has been both? This is one book from your youth that begs to be revisited. E.B. White was an American treasure.

Summary: Charlotte's Web
Review: Charlotte's web is a wonderful children's book, about a shy pig named Wilbur, who meets and becomes friends with a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. Charlotte becomes a mother figure to Wilbur who directs Wilbur through the challenges that he faces and life on the farm. When Wilbur learns of the future that is about to come to him, Charlotte spins a web to convince the farmer and the town that Wilbur is no ordinary pig, but a special pig. Wilbur later is put into the fair and wins many rewards and he lives a happy life.

The two main settings of this book are located on a farm and at the fair. These settings teach children about life somewhere other than the city. Also, the book teaches us about love and friendship, and the importance of having a relationship like the one between Wilbur and Charlotte. This is an excellent book and directs people while young into a loving and caring life.

Summary: A Wonderful Children's Book
Review: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White is a wonderful book for a child to read. It emphazizes how a child can also be a care taker just like their own parents. It also stresses the issue of loyalty and honesty, which children should endure at an early age. It also points out that if you are different you can accomplish anything you want. This book is for the reading level of around third graders and is also sure to keep their attention. I recommend this book to children and their families to keep in your book shelf at home.

Summary: Touching
Review: As a child Charlotte's Web was read to me. I liked it then and I still like it now, although now I have picked up much more meaning. This touching story of Wilbur the pig not only teaches some important lessons to children (about friendship and love) but it is also a delightful story. I could relate to many of the characters because of the distinct personalities that White gave to each of them. This classic story should be read to or by all children of the world.

Summary: What a great book!
Review: I remember when I was in the fourth grade, my teacher would read to us when we would come in from recess. She would read us chapter books. One of the books that she read to us was Charlotte's Web. I loved that book in the fourth grade. So, imagine my excitement when my children's lit teacher(in college) told the class that one of the books we were going to discuss would be Charlotte's Web. It was a great pleasure to read this book again. I feel the same about it now as I did in the fourth grade. I think the thing that pulls you in is that Wilbur is the "runt" and you just can't help but fall head over heels for the little guy. This is the kind of book that you don't want to put down. I really felt like I was right there on the farm with the family. I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up, just to some difficult language. I only wish you good experiences with Charlotte's Web.

Summary: Charletts teaching lesson
Review: In Charlett's Web, I believe that the true lesson of friendship is showen and acted out. This book deals with a pig who becomes friends with a spider named Charlett. The lesson is learned that a true friend will do anything to help them with any of their problems. Wilber learns that friendship is important in any kind of relationship. I love the way the author ties in animals to get the attention of kids and then gives an important lesson at the same time. This book is an exellent one to read to any age. The idas are truly down to earth.
