Summary: I miss Charlotte :(
Review: I will never forget how Wilbur was introduced to Charlotte, nor the day her babies parachuted down from the barn! It's amazing how a pig became more than he ever dreamed all because a tiny spider loved him and validated him.

Summary: Some Pig!
Review: The book I read was Charlottes Web. The author was E.B.White and the illustrator was Garth Williams. My favorite character is Wilber because he is 'some pig.' The story takes place on a farm. My favorite part of this story is when Wilbur, Charlotte, and Simpleton go to the fair for the pig show were Wilbur gets second place. Sadly,Charlotte dies laying a egg sack. I learned that all pigs are used only for meat. If you like action I wouldn't recommend this book. This books reading level is for all ages.

Review: Charlette's Web was a great book. It had lots of good characters and they were nice to each other. Charlette died, but she had lots of kids and they had lots of kids. Everyday the spiders would watch over Wilbur and take care of him. I really loved this book and so will you!

Summary: Charlotte's Web
Review: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White is a wonderful book. It definitely deserves five stars. Kids around second or third grade will love it! It's a great book for kids who are just learning how to read bigger chapter books.
In the book one of the main characters is Fern who stops her dad from killing the runt pig of the liter. She names him Wilbur. She plays with him and feeds him from a bottle, but after about six months, Wilbur is to big for Fern to care for him, so she has to give Wilbur away to her uncle, Mr. Zuckerman, who lives on a farm. Wilbur is very lonely until a spider named Charlotte befriends him. One day, a sheep tells Wilbur that Mr. Zuckerman will eventually kill him for the holidays to eat. Charlotte decides that she needs to help Wilbur.
Charlotte comes up with the idea to start writing things in her web such as Some Pig, Terrific, and Radiant. Mr. Zuckerman sees these messages and soon news is spreading everywhere about this 'Famous Pig.' People would come from many miles away, just to watch Wilbur. Mr. Zuckerman decides that he should enter Wilbur in the fair. On the day of the fair, Mrs. Zuckerman washes Wilbur in buttermilk, so he will look nice. As Wilbur climbs in the crate, Templeton the rat and Charlotte decide to come along. Wilbur ends up doing very well in the fair and gets a medal and a ribbon saying 'Zuckerman's Famous Pig.' But as Charlotte begins to finish laying her eggs while in Wilbur's crate, she becomes very ill. Will she live? What will happen to her children? Read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White and you'll find out!

Summary: Charlotte's web
Review: This book isn't for 15 year old high school students. It's a good book, but it's really easy. It's a good book to choose if you need to read a book in a day. It is a good presentation book too.The characters are easy to relate to, and it has a good plot. The reading level is very low, which is why I think the book is so easy. It would be a good book for a 4th grader. The description level of the characters in the book is very low. The ending is a little weird, but i guess it would seem a lot more interesting if I was 9 years old. The main character's name is Wilbur, and his best friend's name is Charlotte. She's a spider that befriends wilbur when he gets upset because the sheep told him he was going to be killed after he got fat enough. The bond between Charlotte and wilbur grows stronger, and stronger as the book goes along. The girls name who rescued Wilbur from being killed because he was a runt is Fern. Her brother's name is Avery. Their last name is Arable. Once Wilbur is old enough he has to be sold to a farmer down the road. His name is Mr. Zuckerman. There is a rat that runs a round the farm, who's name is Templeton. Fern visits Wilbur every day until school starts. As their lives go on, she stops coming as often and that's when Charlotte comes. Wilbur is lonely, and is very disturbed about him being killed and eaten. charlotte comes up with an elaborate plan to save Wilbur. Write messages in her web about Wilbur. she has to use "thread" that isn't sticky, because she doesn't want bugs to ruin the webs. Her plan ends up saving his life, but I won't tell you how the book ends, because I don't want to give it away.

Summary: I'd read this story every day of my life if I could!
Review: I love this story so much, and so do my students. I think every child should read it. Also nice to add to your collection are: Aesop for Children (Winter), Grimm's complete fairy tales (Grimm), Great Children's stories (Richardson), The Butterfly (Singh). There are many other great children's books out there, but these were the ones I enjoyed the most. Oh, and I almost forgot: The Little Prince (Exupery).

Summary: Your Childhood Isn't Complete Without Having Read This Book
Review: This book is nothing short of a masterpiece. This was the first "grown-up" book I ever read, and I remember crying my eyes out at the end. I'm now 22-years-old, and I decided to take the book off the shelf today, dust it off, and read it again, just for old time's sake. I cried just as much this time around as I did when I was eight and read this book for the first time.Wilbur was born a "runt," an under-developed member of a large litter of pigs. Fern, the daughter of the farmer who owns the barn in which Wilbur was born, pleads with her father to spare his life, so he does. In order to ensure Wilbur's safety, Charlotte the barnyard spider writes messages in her web describing Wilbur to the farmer in an attempt to convince him to spare Wilbur's life. The real strength of this story is in the friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur. While she's just a spider, Charlotte acts as Wilbur's guardian angel. There are also quite a few comical episodes within the story, and other colorful supporting characters. While there's an incredible amount of joy and fun in this novel, the author also masterfully handles the tough issue of explaining the concept of death to a child. E.B. White finds a gentle way of explaining mortality and the circle of life. I'd recommend this book to any parents who is trying to explain these important concepts to their children. This is a brilliant and important novel, and no child should ever grow up without having read it.
