 The Five Stars Say It AllAug 21, 2010
Had I a slovenly mother--had she let my clothes cushion the floor and dirty plates decorate the computer desk--perhaps my copy of CHARLOTTE'S WEB would have been wrapped around in strong threads made so endearing in the book. Though I received this marvelous little story in my childhood, it was not until two days ago that I plucked it out of my brown bookcase and flipped through it. My expectations going into the book? An easy read with static characters and disappointing narration. True, many characters, major and minor, are static--but what an unforeseen thrill CHARLOTTE'S WEB was.
It has been a few years since a story has made scenes from my mind's eye perspicuous; the drawings, as pleasing as they are, were unnecessary. The farm where Wilbur lives, in particular, was presented masterly. White's simple prose is clear and organized, but more important: it is precise. So easily the details are slipped into the mind and so easily the reader is able to see. The characters, too, are described and crafted wonderfully. Their personalities are distinct and, better yet, display virtues and defects.
Some may criticize CHARLOTTE'S WEB for its lack of obvious edification; the hard working characters often go unrewarded, and, seemingly, the ones who whine the loudest receive rewards. But life--and I do feel that this can remain unsaid--is not known for being the wisest judge. To see such a concept illustrated in a children's book so naturally, well, I can only applaud and emphatically say: how laudable. A wonderful story, it is; a definite read, it is. You too, the grown-up, will appreciate this book. After all, is it not nice to feel like a child again?
Give it to your childrenJul 30, 2010
What is there left to say about this book? It's all been said. Give it to your children so that Wilbur and Charlotte live forever.
Wonderful!Jul 18, 2010
A wonderful introduction to friendship, family, and loyalty. The concept of death is brilliantly presented without pulling any punches. Charming, with a brittle edge, and a touch of whimsy!
Who DOESN'T love this book?!Jul 06, 2010
Before you get married, ask your prospective husband if he likes the book Charlotte's Web. If he doesn't like the book, RUN. QUICKLY. LEAVE HIM AT THE ALTAR. This man obviously has a cold piece of ice where his heart should have been, and you do not want to commit the rest of your life to him!
adorableMay 14, 2010
This has to be one of, if not my, favorite childrens books. In this book children will learn about acceptance, love, patience,and the cycle of life, and it is all delivered in such a way that it will make you laugh, and perhaps cry, but in the end it will leave you with a smile.
Charlet the spider is a wise and loving spider that helps wilber, (the insecure runt of the liter pig) find his place in the barn and in life, through creative and funny ways. This book is a must read for any child.
