This was Amazing~ ❤💖😍

Really good book!

This is a very touching book. The dynamic of being close Fern out growing her attachment towards Wilbur being shown in a neutral/positive manner, not judgementally and the gentleness of how the topic of death is discussed is beautiful. If you have only read Stuart Little by the author and disliked it (my case), do give this one a try, it's a family favorite!

I love this Authors Book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😝😜😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Charlotte’s Web is more of a pre-teen book or a tween book. A girl named Fern raises a pig named Wilbur. Now he is raised as a barn pig and he meets a spider named Charlotte. Charlotte tried to figure out a way to save him from being chopped up. I really recommend this story because the perspective is in the spider/pig. I would have thought the story is in perspective of Fern. In the perspective of the animals it’s so much more interesting. Although I would like to think of Wilbur and Charlotte as symbolism of us humans. In the perspectives of these 2 characters it can be shown that they show human characteristics. They have emotions and ideals as complex as humans do. I don't know if the author's main purpose was this but this is the way I analyze this book.

As I have started to introduce my 6 year old son to chapter books many honestly did not hold up. This one however was a huge success, and was the first we read when he was age 5.
A sweet story of friendship.
The play away was a nice way to engage him in a book without having to read it to him - best part, no screen ;)

Wilbur is a cute little pig who was just a baby when Fern, a human girl, saved his life. From then on Wilbur has lived in a barn. The only thing he can look forward to is waiting for Fern to come to visit him. His life is uneventful and boring until an unexpected friendship sparks between Wilbur and Charlotte, a barn spider.

This book is about friendship, trust, and doing the impossible. It’s a great book with an important message that is suitable for young readers.

4 1/2-5 stars. This was my very favourite book of childhood and I read it again and again. I recently treated myself to a new copy and settled in to read it as an older adult and found it a lovely read with a lot of insight into how to get along in the world. Wilbur is a pig, adopted by Fern, who soon discovers what his destiny in life is and is horrified. His friend Charlotte the spider helps him avoid his inevitable demise by spinning webs with words like "some pig", "terrific" and the farmer notices and the people in the area notice and Wilbur becomes quite famous. It's also about Fern, a little girl who loves animals and who hears what they say to her. I thought this was a lovely book and it still has a place in my heart.

A perfect story. Whereas White’s first work, Stuart Little, is more of a collection of vignettes; Charlotte’s Web is a consistent and masterfully crafted narrative. Returning to this work as an adult was delightful, if heartbreaking. White’s superb proficiency with the English language delivers his observations on our existence in an efficient and powerful manner.

A gem on every page.

Charlotte's sage advice to Wilbur: "I want you to get plenty of sleep, and stop worrying! Never hurry and never worry...Keep fit and don't lose your nerve."

The goose's retort upon being congratulated for hatching seven goslings: "Luck had nothing to do with this...It was good management and hard work."

Wilbur speaking for all of us: "I don't want to die...I want to breathe the beautiful air and lie in the beautiful sun."

"Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen..."

"You're my best friend, and I think you're sensational."

Re-reading this little book was the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon outside.
