This classic tale has well developed characters. Charlotte's Web is a heartwarming tale of a lonely pig who wanted a friend. Throughout the story Wilbur learns many lessons about life, friendship and himself. Upper elementary to middle school students will be able to relate to the characters in this story. Charlotte's Web is a magical story of an unlikely friendship between a pig and a spider. An 8-year-old girl named Fern, and her family live on a farm. One day Fern finds out that her father is going to kill the runt piglet. She believes it is unfair that it gets killed because it is small and defenseless. Fern names the piglet Wilbur and takes care of him until he is too big, at which point they sell Wilbur to Mr. Zuckerman, who has a farm not far away. Luckily Fern is able to visit Wilbur often, but Wilbur becomes lonely. Wilbur and and Charlotte, the spider, become the best of friends and have quite the journey together. Wilbur certainly is, "Some Pig." This is a sweet story that tells of how you can find friendship in unlikely creatures. I've loved this book since I was kid. I tried reading it to my daughter when she was only three because I couldn't wait to share it with her (yeah, it was too soon and I will try again when she's five). Lately I'm really into the podcast Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. I love HP, but I think Charlotte's Web may be an even better sacred text for me. As they say on the podcast, it has so many gifts to give. Also, for me Charlotte's voice will always be Debbie Reynold's voice. Sorry, Julia Roberts.
