Summary: Charlotte' Web: A Study of Life
Review: Charlotte's Web is a wonderufl tale of a young girl, a wonderful spider, and her precious pig, Wilbur. Charlotte saves Wilbur's life and the book is a beautiful story of friendship, love, and loyalty. It truly is a book of life, in that all of the animal characters mirror people in this world who face the challenge of living their lives each day. It also is a tender story of the love of a young girl and a very smart spider who together instill self esteem and dignity in their friend Wilbur. As an elementary school teacher, this book is in my Top Ten Read-Aloud list. Written by Bob Townsend

Summary: Shelby's AWESOME Review!!!
Review: I missed reading this story in my youth, though I admit I read many of my sister's books growing up. My curiousity was peaked when I arrived home from work one day and found my 5 year old daughter pretending to be a pig. My wife had started reading this book aloud to her. We had to read three more chapters before bedtime. This was the longest she has sat still so far in her life. I actually couldn't resist staying up to read the rest myself. It is a very charming story for all ages. My little girl has been obsessed with fairies and dogs for some time, now she has added pigs to her interests. Thanks to this book, we are seeking a farm or petting zoo to visit soon.

Summary: Terrific Story
Review: This is one of the best books of all time. It is so touching and a classic story of friendship. I read it to my youngest girl when she was three. Now she is twelve and has read it about fifteen times. She loves it as much as I do. Highly recommended for everyone.

Summary: Charlotte's Web
Review: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White is an awesome book to read no matter what age you are. This Newberry Honor Book tells us about two extraordinary friendships. These friendships are Wilbur and Fern's and Wilbur and Charlotte's. The first friendship White writes for us is of Fern and Wilbur's love for each other. Fern saved Wilbur from being killed because he was a runt and because of that, the two became best friends and inseparable. As life goes on and Fern grows older, Wilbur finds him a new best friend in the barn of which he lives. Her name is Charlotte and she, like Fern, also saved Wilbur's life.
This was one of my favorite books in elementary school and it is still one of my favorites to this day. Children are able to read this book and feel connections through this book with the relationships of the characters. Not only the best friends of Fern, Wilbur, and Charlotte, but also the other relationships such as Templeton helping Charlotte save Wilbur's life. Without Templeton, Charlotte wouldn't have had the lettering to weave into her web. This teaches children that you may not always want to do something, but if it's for the better of someone else, you probably should. Templeton was greedy with his food and life but he put aside (grumpily) his greed for a few moments to find these words for Charlotte and Wilbur.
When I become a teacher, I thought about reading this book to my classes so they can listen to such a wonderful book. I started thinking about some lessons to tie in with reading the book aloud and I thought of a social studies lesson with the types of occupations when the book takes place. Farming was a big occupation in these days and I want my students to know that all the jobs available now were not available during the setting of the book. I also thought of reviewing different farm animals and letting students pick a farm animal to do a mini project on. I think students would have so much fun researching this stuff on the computer, and while they do not know it, they will be learning how to use the internet to search their topics. When we are finished reading the book, I will have my students write a story about their favorite farm animal in the book or write a story about how they would save their best friends life.

Summary: Charlott's Web
Review: E.B. White introduced fantasy to many young readers. Wilbur, the main character, was a pig that was not wanted because he was a runt. Fern took care of Wilbur then sold him to her Unlce Zuckerman who owns a farm. Wilber met many animals, but finds himself lonely. Wilbur sat in his barn stall all alone. He asked the animals if they would like to be his friend. Only one answered and it was Charlotte the spider. Wilbur must struggle with the idea that he might be dinner.
Charlotte had an idea that would save Wilbur's life. She decided to weave words into her web such as, "Some Pig" and "Radiant". For the first time in Wilbur's life he feels wanted. Many people came to Zuckerman's farm to see this "miracle".
Wilbur was characterized as a sweet, loving, pig that wanted friends. This appealed to many young readers because it would allow them to appreciate the friends they have. This terrific book showed children the importance of friendship and what it means to be a friend.
This Newbery Honor book contained loneliness, happiness, and some humor that readers would enjoy.
