Charlotte’s Web is the classic children’s story by E B White.

The tale of how a little girl named Fern, with the help of a friendly spider, saved her pig Wilbur from the usual fate of nice fat little pigs.

E. B. White was born in New York in 1899 and died in 1985. He kept animals on his farm in Maine and some of these creatures crept into his books, such as STUART LITTLE which was recently made into a blockbusting film. He received many awards including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal in 1970, an award given every five years to authors who have ‘made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children’.

I would recommend this book to children that are fans of Mathilda and Weslandia because the stories are similar, the main character is a bit of an underdog at the beginning but come out on top by the end of the book.
I listened to it while travelling this summer and the narrator used different voice for the characters. The goose and the gander sounded really funny.

This story is about farm girl Fern who with the help of a friendly talking spider called Charlotte, saves her pig, Wilbur, from the usual fate of nice fat little pigs during springtime. It is both sweet and sad at the same time. A lovely book.

The best character in Charlotte’s Web was Charlotte, because she was very loyal, kind, caring and helpful. I would recommend this to people over six years old.

This book is about a pig named Wilbur who lives in a farm and meets a spider named Charlotte. Wilbur was about to attend a contest, but because of Charlotte, he became famous. I recommend this book because the story is exciting and the ending is sad

I loved this book. It touched my heart. It taught me that a true friend would do anything for you. I loved that the main characters were animals but they showed such wonderful characteristics and virtues. I loved that such a small spider could have such a big impact. I found it very beautiful.

A beautiful book: friends, fun and food.

It interest me because I thought by predicting the title ā€˜Charlotte’s web’ is talking about a spider called Charlotte made a special web.Also,I would recommend to someone else!

I really enjoyed this book, I wasn’t expecting the ending.

Develops their vocabulary - teaches them new words
The children learn to use context clues to figure out the meaning of a new word and see how the characters use it in different contexts
They see characters display empathy and how actively listen
Examples of being a good friend

I didn't think I would like it that much but by the end I really enjoyed the book. Such a classic

31 Aug 2022

I would recommend this book who loves to read quite sad stories the only reason i would say that this is for a person who reads sad stories is because at some points like at the end it can be quite heart touching.
