So simple, so brilliant. A true classic. I love kids stories that aren't soft, but are true and honest. And what an ending. ( )

Wow, I was bored out of my mind. Nothing really happens, just some animals talking in a barn then they go to a fair. I never read this as a kid and I'm sure if I did, I would've been bored as hell back then as well. As a publisher looking to break into the children's market soon, I read this for research. I'll have to conduct more. Consequently, EB White damn near breaks all the rules he set forth in his own "Elements of Style." I think I'll move on to Dickens... ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0064400557, Hardcover)

An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.
