Rating: Summary: A good friend and a good writer are hard to find. Review: Charlotte is a spider and Wilber is a pig, who has just found out that his fate is to grace the farmer's table as bacon and ham. The warm hearted spider befriends the pig and sets about to save his life by spinning webs that promote Wilbur. "Terrific", "Radiant", and "Some Pig" are among the slogans she uses to transform opinions about Wilbur. Helping in her in her task are the barnyard residents chiefly the local rat Templeton. This is an unlikely pair of friends (as so many are), with Wilbur never quite able to overcome his distaste for the way in which Charlotte gains her sustenance. But it is a genuine friendship and all the more touching for the differences that the pair have to overcome. In the end both Charlotte and Wilbur make heavy sacrifices in the name of that friendship. This book is funny and touching and captivating from the first page to the last. No childhood should be without it.
Rating: Summary: (...)Third Grade Class Review Review: Our class liked this book for many reasons. Wilbur made lots of friends within the story. The story was very funny and interesting. It was nice that Wilbur won a gold medal for being being the best pig at the fair. We learned about many animals that live on a farm and how they are raised from being babies. The book was sad when Charlotte died and funny when Wilbur jumped all around like a crazy pig. Read this book and you will really like it.
Rating: Summary: Kelli's Amazing Book Review on Charlott's Web Review: My book review is about the spectacular spider named Charlotte and the awsome pig named Wilbur. This book is the best book that's why I encourage you to read it with my best effort. I think people should read this book because it helps with friendship and having fun with people. The reason I think this book is the best and why I gave it a five is when it was first read to me I thought it was wonderful and that's why I think it's the best. Some of my favriote parts is when Charlotte has her babies, when wilbur won in the county fair and of course when Charlotte spends time working on her web to help Wilbur so he won't die. I love this book and I think you would too. Thank's for reading this.
Rating: Summary: Tawny Rector's Great Review Of Charlots Web Review: Charlots Web is a very good book. The reason why I think it is a really good is that this pig named wilber was going to be killed because he was a runt. But a girl named Fran saved him from death. Fran took Wilber and treated him just like a little baby. She also took good care of him. It is really nice to know that someone cares that much about a animal.Thats what I found most interesting.

Rating: Summary: Lovable pig + wise spider = enduring classic Review: "Charlotte's Web," by E.B. White, belongs to a special class of literature: a children's book which has much to offer to older teen and adult readers. White's wonderful story is superbly complemented by the charming illustrations of Garth Williams. As the story opens, eight year old farm girl Fern Arable stops her father from killing a piglet who has been labeled the runt of the litter. The little pig, whom Fern names Wilbur, becomes one of the central figures in the story. Eventually he will be befriended by Charlotte, the wise and loving spider mentioned in the book's title. White creates a sort of modern animal fable in which his barnyard characters can speak both with each other and with Fern. White's barn is populated with some truly marvelous characters. Special mention should be made of Templeton the rat. Gluttonous, sneaky, often nasty, but curiously sympathetic, Templeton is one of the great anti-heroes in modern literature. Part of this novel's brilliance is the fact that the author makes a heroine out of a spider: a creature that many people probably regard with fear. Unlike a cute piglet or other barnyard creatures, a spider is a creature vastly different from humans. White's Charlotte is a truly remarkable character. White's witty, compassionate prose style is an ideal vehicle for telling the story of Charlotte and her friends. "Charlotte's Web" is a masterful blend of whimsy, humor, gentle satire, and life-and-death drama. But above all, it is a powerful story of friendship. Deeply moving and superbly written, this is a book which, I believe, will endure as a treasured classic.
Rating: Summary: A CLASSIC! Review: After watching the "Charlotte's Web" movie I am glad I also read the book. Some people have only seen the film, but have not read the story. I suggest they do! "Charlotte's Web" is an easy read for most youngsters. The chapters are short and will keep a child's attention. I think kids will have fun watching the movie and also reading the book to see the similarities and differences. Books are a great gift for young readers, particularly when many kids have too much television in their lives. Child readers usually do better in school and their adult lives. Most people have talents they don't know they have. My exposure to literature caused me to discover a talent in writing I didn't know I had. My talent in writing for children gives me hours of fun and a great feeling of accomplishment. Do you have a talent you don't know you have? YOU probably do! As a children's book author, I highly recommend "Charlotte's Web" to kids and grown-ups. Richard W. Carlson Jr., author of "Jeremy Grabowski's Crazy Summer in Stormville!"
Rating: Summary: Charlotts Web Review: My opinion about the book "Charlotte's Web" is good. I think it teaches you about friendship and how you can help your friend. I think it teaches you how a friend wants to be treated. I like that they used talking animals for most of the characters. I liked the book because it was funny and exciting. It gets your attention with the animals that can talk. I think that the author wanted everyone to know that friends mean a lot in your life. That's why I like the book.
