Rating: Summary: How to be a Best Friend Review: E.B. White's tender classic remains a favorite for those of us who grew up in the fifties-for friendship and self-sacrifice are timeless virtues. Eight-year-old Fern Arable begs her father to spare the life of the runt of a litter of pigs, whom she lovingly names Wilbur and treats as a baby. Finally being sold to relatives on another farm, Wilbur has an easy time at first in the lower section of the Zuckerman's barn, but he gradually decides that his life is still empty, for he needs a special true friend. He fears he will die of heartbreak over his loneliness-not realizing that his destiny as a pig is to be fattened for a Christmas butchering.
This delightful tale chronicles the special friendship which is extended to him by a talented gray spider named Charlotte, who undertakes as her personal mission to save the life of the gentle young pig. Obviously she has to deceive the Zuckermans into believing that their pig is too remarkable to kill. Because she is such an excellent writer, she uses her web to advertise Wilbur's best features-which is considered a miracle. Meanwhile Fern sits quietly in the barn and listens to all the animals' conversation, though she does not participate. Naturally her mother is worried about this tendency to prefer animals to her peers. Revealing many human characteristics, the animals work together (or not), boys will be boys, until the final farewell. Wilbur is not the only one to shed tears at the spider's brief life cycle, but hope is renewed each spring. This is a wonderful read-aloud story, for children of all ages.

Rating: Summary: Charlotte's Web Review: The book of "Charlotte's Web" was very inspiring to us. It taught us that life has hard times, but don't worry about all the bad things in life, focus and live your life to the fullest, and never let anything bring you down. The story of "Charlotte's Web", was about a little pig, that was born a runt. The girl, Fern, would not allow her father to kill the little pig, and she promised to care and love for the pig. She named him Wilbur. Then once the pig was old enough, her father said that he must be given away, so they decided to give it to her uncle, who lived just down the road. She visited him every day, and she also became friends with all of the other animals on the farm. On this farm there was a spider, named Charlotte. She became Wilbur's best friend. Later in the story, Fern's uncle decided to enter Wilbur in the state fair, and he won second place. At the fair, Charlotte made an egg sack, but then, after it was done, she passed away, and from then on Wilbur watched over her eggs, until one summer day, they hatched. There was about 300 hundred spiders, but all of them started to float away. Wilbur suddenly became sad again, but then he noticed there was 3 little spider, who were runts, who stayed with Wilbur at the farm, taking the place in life, of the never forgotten mother, Charlotte.
