Rating: Summary: An interesting and also educative book Review: Although this is a book for children, I think the theme of it is serious. This is a story about human nature, life and death, and friendship. The tone is humorous and soft, making readers feel warm, but everyone is forced by the author to think of the lessons of life and death when they are at the same time being amused by funny plots.
Rating: Summary: "NL-S Approved book Review: Charlotte's Web White did a great job creating the story of Charlotte's Web. Fern was easy to relate to because she had the same feelings that I did because,we went through the same feelings about the thought of loosing our own pet.The setting is on a small farm early in the morning. The writting was great because it was easy for you to read and understand the chacters point of view. Fern was very excited about keeping her pet pig Wilbur. The plot of the book was a young girl fighting to keep her pet pig Wilbur and raising him. Both Fern and Wilbur had to learn how to deal with how they couldn't be with each other all the time. And how they could over come the bad times. The main point of the Charlotte's Web is that in order to accomplish something,you have to go for it.No matter how many bumps there are before you capture it. Charlotte and Wilbur over came all there problems and at the very end they were happy. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is looking for a good animal story.
Rating: Summary: Unique! In a class by itself! Review: Charlotte's Web was checked out of my grade school library many times by a classmate of mine that I considered "dumb". I thought "If SHE likes it, then I surely wouldn't. So I never checked it out. When my own child brought it home as a part of a third grade assignment, I decided to read it. The surprise of my life! It turned out to be the most wonderful book! The subtle nuances of humor are missed by children,even though they love the book, too. The way the author transforms everyday farm-life into interesting tidbits of information (including the actual contents of Wilbur's feeding trough) is nothing short of ingenius. The way he makes you feel for the lovable Wilbur--I love the way Wilbur asks Charlotte, "How is your plan coming? (for saving his life) I'd be happy to help with the plan in any way that I can." Naturally, he would like to see the plan move along, for saving his life, but the way in which he offers his help is adorable! The emotions, the characters of the animals (goose, sheep, and of course, Templeton) all combine to make Charlotte's Web a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

Rating: Summary: Charlotte, you are welcome in my home anytime, sweetie! Review: I read this delightful book about twice a year. The spider is my favorite. The friendship that the spider forms with the pig helped me to overcome my phobia of insects. I was recently traumatized in a life-threatening incident involving a spider, a small meatloaf and a spark plug, but this story really helped me to get over that hump. Now, with the help of this lovely book, I feel like I, too, can make friends with spiders. But pigs are nice to eat, too! Hee hee. Before I end, I would like to "shout-out" to my sister Krissy! She is a hoot.
Rating: Summary: Charming timeless classic Review: White's style of writing is flawless and draws the reader into the timeless story immediately. Children will surely be absorbed by the vivid imagery and warmth of the narration. Moreover, the story deals with many common human emotions with which children are able to relate, including love, loneliness, fear, courage, and sorrow.
