Details in catalogue and profile page -- would be b-o-r-i-n-g to add here, but I was pleased to get Web by John Wyndham among them (Touchstone screwy as usual). I agree with The Black Stallion...I was just so horse crazy, actually, still am. ;} My other favs include Charlotte's Web, the Little House on the Prairie series, Harriet the Spy, Misty of Chincoteague (still with the horses!), books by Beverly Cleary (The Henry Huggins series w/ Ramona ... When I was really young my mom read Are you My Mother? to me. Then in 4th grade I read Charlotte's Web and Holes.
Those were the days when schools actually had you read good books = I remember Mrs. Shigeta reading Charlotte's Web to my third grade class over the period of about 2 weeks. We were so anxious for it to be after lunch - time for another chapter! And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss

... just for you :)
Although the fact that you say it's a VERY short book says a lot about your reading habits! Something like Charlotte's Web constitutes a short book for me!
They loved Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web and it is funny that you mentioned The Borrowers, Sodapop, because my brother is reading those books on his own. How about Stewart Little and Charlotte's web?
Although not an animal book, they might like The Borrowers which is about a race of tiny people who live off of things that they borrow from the Humans they live around. The Wind in the Willows
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh
Charlotte's Web - maybe?
Watership Down although I hate to recommend it....
But aside from the talking animals, no magic in any of those that I recall.

I read recently somewhere (can't remember where offhand) that the favorite book of elementary school kids is Charlotte's Web, the favorite of middle school kids is The Outsiders, and the favorite of high schoolers is To Kill a Mockingbird. I've read all but The Outsiders. I ... ... for my nephew.
For intermediates I would of course say Harry Potter but also the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary, Charlotte's Web, The Secret Garden, Nancy Drew, and the Little House and Narnia books. All these are books I read as a kid (except for Harry). ... that is very sad story. That would have bothered me as a child as well. I've never gotten over Velveteen Rabbit and Charlotte's Web! That brings back memories...Once upon a time when I was a child, I started reading Charlotte's Web at a friend's house. It was a shabby old copy of the book, practically falling apart, but what did I care? Of course when I went home, I had to take it with me. And when it came time to return ... The National Education Association has listed their favorites. I won't comment yet.
1. Charlotte's Web by E. B. White

5. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise B ... ... for an animal character, but anything where the point is that the animal dies at the end - I just can't do it. I cried at Charlotte's Web and I still would if I re-read it today. I read a lot of children's literature. Three of my favorites are:
1. Wind in the Willows
2. Charlotte's Web
3. Stuart Little
I did not live in a bookish home and our school was rural and had a very bad library. Strangely, I came to children's literature mostly when I became older ... 10.John Wyndham-Web
Really enjoyed this book of mutant spiders taking over an island. Wyndham is more widely known as a scifi writer but when I read the synopsis of this book, I thought I'de give it a shot. It has a nicely creepy quality that is aided by a very poetic prose. The characters ... It does not matter that I know what happens, but just like with Little Women when Beth dies, I cry every time I read Charlotte's Web and Charlotte dies . . . I can't even remember the first book I bought, but it was probably a Nancy Drew book when I was in 5th grade. Speaking of Charlotte's Web, I love that book, and when my son was about 8 or so, he used to like me to read to him every night before bed, and I read Charlotte's Web to him. He hadn't ... You know I have never read Charlotte's Web. Thanks for jogging my memory. I'm putting it on my wish list right now. I've seen the movie but I think books are, more often than not, the better alternative.
The first book I ever bought for myself was Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. I was about 8 years old at the time and bought it off the Scholastic Bookmobile that came to my elementary school. And yes, I still have it even after all these years. Charlotte's Web, Return of the King, and Catch 22... hmmm, I guess that's one from each stage of life? ... you the number of times I read The Jungle Book. Reading was a safety net.
So many books mentioned raise good memories, Charlotte's Web, Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, Black Beauty (which apparently doesn't exist in LT), The Secret Garden, All-of-a-Kind Family. Little Women, Anne of Gr ... ... you the number of times I read The Jungle Book. Reading was a safety net.

Little Women, Anne of Gr ... ... Horses, yes -- My Friend Flicka, Black Beauty, bunches more. Even a deer -- The Yearling, even a rat and a pig! -- Charlotte's Web. We just watched Charlotte's Web.
*sniffle* Long list, starting in grade school: Charlotte's Web, Old Yeller, Lassie Come Home, but later: The Sparrow, Corelli's Mandolin, and Good Dog. Stay The Sparrow had me beside myself for a long time. Just tragic. Charlotte's Web by E.B. White My parents read to me constantly -- piles and stacks of picture books, but also Charlotte's Web, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Christmas Carol, and many others.
As for their own reading tastes, it probably does not reflect well on Mom that I mostly remember her reading Harlequin romance ... ... someone else who understands why you're crying and who can cry along with you. I remember my mom telling me about reading Charlotte's Web to herself when she was a kid, and she cried really hard at the end, and her mom couldn't understand why she was so sad about a spider. My boyfriend and I ... YA

... ... loved re-reading the All-of-a-Kind Family books by Sydney Taylor as well as The Little Princess, The Secret Garden, Charlotte's Web, The Joyous Season and other books that are more like old friends than books. Sometimes when I'm sick, these are the books I go to - they don't take much ... ... esp. the wolf books like Secret go the wolves, etc.
Watership Down, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Charlotte's Web, A Cricket in Times Square -- I'm sure there are others I just can't remember. I read lots of books about people who rehabilitated and/or raised wild ... I also put my vote in for Watership Down and if we are going to mention children's books, what about Charlotte's Web?? Both excellent books. And The Chronicals of Narnia also. There are phases. As a kid I had similar experiences described in earlier posts re The Yearling and Charlotte's Web. Then came a hardening, and it took years before that emotional pitch returned, for books like My Antonia and Capote's A Christmas Memory (the endings). ... my first book for myself when I was 8 from the Scholastic Bookmobile (anyone remember those?) and I still have that copy of Charlotte's Web, although it is definitely worse for the wear.
Books were definitely a refuge for me and I always considered them my best friends when I was growing up ... ... of the Blue Dolphins or Secret of the Andes. They get the mind turning, and make a kid excited about the globe.

Two nights ago I heard ... Thanks byzanne :D for the suggestions.

Jessica I've finished reading the book Charlotte's Web by E. B. White on January 14, 2007. Now I'm reading a new one.
As of 0000H GMT of January 20, 2007 , I have so far completed 32% of the book Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham . It's currently a movie that I expect to get an Oscar ... ... to be shown soon here in my country.

One of the best parts of Charlotte's Web is the illustrations by Garth Williams.
