Rating: Summary: A funny, deeply moving book that I would recommend to all. Review: I'm not going to give any of the plot away. I have read this book five times. Once when I was in elementary school, three times to my son when he was much younger, and recently to my wife. Each time I have found this book funnier, more emotionally powerful, and more full of fundamental "truths" about what is truly important about living.E.B. White's writing style and use of English is masterful. To accomplish so much in a "children's" novel is nothing short of astonishing. Many fundamental themes of life are touched upon, but the most compelling, emotionally powerful, and moving is the friendship that develops between the two main protagonists. If you are emotionally sensative, be well prepared with a box of tissues. I thought I might be alone in how deeply moving I find this book. Then one day I heard that the author, E.B. White, had worked on making a recording of his book. There is a section in this book that he attempted several times to read, but each time would become overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't continue. For a while there was a concern that the project could not be completed, that he would be unable to read this passage. Finally, on the 17th attempt he made it through. Just thinking about this part of the book has brought me to tears. Charlotte's Web is my favorite book of all time. I have read many great novels and children's books. None are more satisfying. I give this book my highest recommendation. Please read it!
Rating: Summary: Good book Review: if this is not one of the greatest books i have ever read then i dont know what is because the story grips you like all very good books do so if have not read it ever or in a while then read it
Rating: Summary: Charlotte's Web is a wonderful story for kids. Review: Charlotte's Web is a wonderful story for kids. It is about the unusual friendship between a girl named Fern, a pig, and a spider that takes place on a farm. At the beginning of the story, Fern's dad got a pig and decided to kill it because it is a runt. But Fern requested her dad not to kill the pig and gave it to her, so she could raise it up. She named it, Wilbur. After Fern sold Wilbur to her uncle's farm, Wilbur became alone, he wanted a friend to play with. He is worried that he will become the next slaughter and will be turned into bacon when a sheep told him that he would be killed in the next Christmas. When he almost got killed, he met a spider named Charlotte who saved his life. After they knew each other, Wilbur formed a bond with Charlotte, he followed all the things that Charlotte wanted him to do. Few days later, Charlotte decided to spin a number of different webs that spell out words to describe the pig. These words eventually helped Wilbur to stay alive. In the end, Charlotte became the savior of a barnyard and died happily in the fair. Her friendship with Wilbur is continued through her children, three little spiders. I like how Wilbur and Charlotte met because there had a sentence that really touching my heart. It is said by Charlotte, "I'll be your friend. When you wake up you'll see me." Also I like how the story ended with Wilbur and the three spiders because it made me feel that friendship is forever.

Rating: Summary: A light, refreshing book. Review: If you have just read a deep and serious book and you want to cool down a bit from it than you should read this. The philosopy in this book is pretty deep but with barn and friendly animals, all and all it's a pretty mellow book.
Rating: Summary: THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS!!! Review: Charlett's Web was a wonderful book. Once you start reading it is is hard to put down. I love animals so I really loved how the story was narrated by animals. This book should have won the Newberry Award, if you ask me.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: Excellent rendition of E.B. White's classic. Quality sound for an excellent story.
