 Kid's ReviewFeb 03, 2010
Charlotte's Web is a very fun book. It is about a pig named Wilbur; he is loving , kind. He is raised by a girl named Fern. Now he is a barn pig, and a spider named Charlotte tries to save him. I recommend this book to people that are kind and lovely like Charlotte.
I loved this book - 10 years oldJan 15, 2010
This is a story a out a girl named Fern who saves a runt piglet from being killed by her father. Fern named him Wilber. When he becomes too big Wilber is moved to Fern's Uncle's farm where he becomes friends with Charlotte,a spider who lives in the corner of the doorway of the barn. When Wilber realizes he is going to be slaughtered for Christmas dinner, Charlotte says that she is going to save him, and she does. They become best friends, who really would do almost anything for eachother.
I liked this book because it showed how friends are willing to save one another. When Wilber was going to be killed Charlotte saves him by writing " Some Pig" in her web. This gets Wilber a lot of attention and he is not killed because of this.
My favorite part was when Wilber helps Charlotte. She was dying Wilber promises to help her too. He takes her egg sack back to the barn where out comes 300 spiders, three of which stay with Wilber.
I would reccommend this book to everyone. It is a story about love and friendship
I give this book 5 stars and definately will read it to my children one day.
My very first book. Made me want to read even more. A classic!Dec 02, 2009
When I read this as a 4th grader, I didn't see half the insights and life's lessons that I did as I grew up. Maybe I did, but just didn't see it the same way, Either way, this book is a gem to introduce young readers into partaking into reading for pleasure. My 4th grade teacher would read a 1/2 hour to us after lunch every other day, and she chose both E.B. White's classics, including "Stuart Little." But "Charlotte's Web" at such a young age left such a lump in my throat, that when sick from school for a week, my mom gave in to my pleas for buying me that book. Felt like a celebrity when I returned to school w/ that book in hand-like George Kennedy's character in Cool Hand Luke with Newman's picture w/ some ladies. I had something everyone else in class wanted. Even got some chocolate milk offers to borrow it! All in all, this book evokes some great memories, not just of the story told, but how such books can form one's life, in this case my desire to read more. This book stands above all other children's books in my lifetime. It's an easy, wonderful read for kids of all ages.
Charlette's webNov 24, 2009
Have you ever loved a pet a lot? Well Wilbur was one loved pet by his owner Fern. Good thing nothing bad happen to Wilbur. He was about to be KILLED! His owner that he got's now wanted him so he got saved YAY! When I read that it got me kinda nervous! The parent's of Fern didn't really want the pet because it was a pig. They only had kept the pig because their daughter wanted it and was crying for it. They were living by a barn which was their uncles. When Wilbur went to that farm he made a friend her name was Charlotte they spent alot of time together they were best friends! If you read this book you will be amazed. When I read the first page I wanted to read more and I bet you will too!
The Best Book Madison Ever ReadOct 28, 2009
Charlotte's Web is a classic book. It is a book all ages can enjoy. It is one of my favorites because it tells a story about a spider who saves a pigs life. It is easy to read and is fun to read. It is a story that starts out as a nonfictional and turns into a fictional story. You will love it and so will your entire family. It is a good book to get because your family will be really interested in it. The main characters are Wilbur the pig, Charlotte the spider, Fern the girl who raises Wilbur, Templeton the hilarious rat and Mr Zuckerman the man who owns Wilbur the famous pig. You learn a lesson of friendship in the book.
