Honestly, I expected more from this book. I can't put my finger on what bugs me about it, but there is something lacking (in my humble opinion). It did get better towards the end, though. Perhaps I am too old for this book because children seem to love it. ( )

I probably read this book when I was younger if I didn't then shame on me. I love this story a lot. I enjoyed the talking animals and the interaction of them with each other. The goose and gander are so charming with their talk, talk, talk.

This is a must read for all children when they are growing up. If you never read the book just take an afternoon to read this story. It will only take a few hours if you read slower then most. ( )

This story is so unique in the way it incorporates both humans and non-humans. I really like the spider, Charlotte. Her personality, confidence and intelligence are refreshing for a female. ( )

This is a classic book that should be a part of every library's collection, if not every child's collection. It is about a pig, Wilbur, and his spider friend, Charlotte, along with his human friend, Fern. Charlotte wants to help save Wilbur's life so he will not be butchered after ther the fair, and she accomplished the task, by spelling wonderful descriptive words about Wilber in her web. This is a great book about growing up, getting old, and friendship.
I would recommend this book for my library. ( )

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.
