In this amazing chapter book, a little girl named Fern begs her father to let her keep a runt piglet that was born on their farm. Her father agrees, but Fern must take care of him. She named him Wilbur. After a few weeks, the pig was getting to big and eating too much, so Fern's father told her that he must be sold. Fern called her uncle Zuckerman to ask if Wilbur could go live on his farm, and that became his new home. There on Zuckerman's farm he meets a spider names Charolette and several other friends. Charolette saves Wilbur from becoming Christmas dinner by spinning webs of words about how wonderful he is.

I love this book because it has a great stoy line and teaches life lessons. It also has a wonderful combination of fantasy and realism, which is a great way to capture children's attention. this book is a good read for young readers who are graduating to chapter books.

In the classroom I would have children create their own web word that says something positive about themself. For older children, I would have them write a paragraph about how they would try to save Wilbur's life.

This book is about a farm girl named Fern. There was a runt pig and her dad didn't want the pig but Fern wanted to keep the pig .So her dad let her take care of the pig and she named him Wilbur.They go on an adventure and meet a spider .You might like this book if you like animals. ( )

This is a great story about the runt of the litter who was saved by the farmer’s daughter. Fern raises Wilber to be a beautiful pig. When Fern’s dad decides to kill Wilber, Wilber meets Charlotte who helps to save him. Charlotte goes with Wilder to the fair and helps to save him by messages that she writes in her web.

I love this book and it was one of the first chapter books that my mother read to me.

1. Go to a farm.
2. Make a web to hang up in our classroom

This book is one of my all time favorites. No matter how many times I hear it, I still react the same way; teary eyes. I probably do not have to tell anyone what this book is about, but for the sake of my class I will. It is about a pig named Wilbur who ends up on a farm and raised by the daughter of the farmer. He becomes friends with the least likely critter of the farm, a spider. The spider teachers Wilbur a very valuable lesson.

I love this book and would read it to any child every chance I get. It has a very special place in my heart because I could really relate to it as a young girl.

In the class room I could talk about farm life. We could discuss what we know about each of the animals from the book. We could also talk about how it feels to be different and that differences are ok.
