Work detailsCharlotte's Web by E. B. White (1952)
While I'm a huge fan of the 1973 animated take on this classic children's book, I refuse to see the 2006 movie because computer-animated Charlotte freaks me out. (  ) katemo | May 16, 2013 |  Not only have I read it, but I have gifted it to niece's and nephews. A must-read right of passage! ( ) Chris_Bulin | May 13, 2013 | A true classic book about a little girl Fern and how she loved her baby pig Wilbur along with all the other farm animals. They banned together to help save Wilbur. This book is rich several themes, especially friendship. Also the seasons, and working together. darleenanderson | May 11, 2013 | Charlotte’s Web is about a pig named Wilbur, a barn spider who is called Charlotte and an eight year old girl named Fern. Wilbur and Charlotte become friends. When Wilbur was told that he was going to be killed and eaten, he turns to Charlotte for help. She keeps him safe away from being killed.

Fern fights to keep Wilbur from becoming bacon, Charlotte the spider also helps to keep Wilbur alive but also teaches Wilbur to be strong and brave. Wilbur becomes a very special pig to everyone with the help of Charlotte, and Charlotte receives help from Wilbur, it’s a unique friendship and a classic children’s story. I like this book because it creates a wonderful way to teach vocabulary, as it draws attention to fun words in an exciting way, I also enjoy this book because Wilbur and Charlotte have such a wonderful friendship where they grow a lot as characters. I recommend this book to children first grade and up. KylieNelson | Apr 24, 2013 |
"Charlotte's Web" is a classic story about a wise spider. An extension would be to discuss with the class a time when they helped out a friend by using their skills.  This book has liveliness and felicity, tenderness and unexpectedness, grace and humor and praise of life, and the good backbone of succinctness that only the most highly imaginative stories seem to grow.
