This was a really enjoyable children’s classic that shed a new light onto spiders. It was a really sweet story about friendship, and while I expected that friendship to be between the girl and the pig it was actually between the pig, Wilbur, and the spider, Charlotte. Charlotte taught Wilbur about spinning webs and why spiders have such complex legs, and Wilbur really appreciated her friendship. I listened to the full cast audio too which was great

The cartoon they made of this book was one of my favorites as a child and when I finally appreciated reading enough to sit down with book and loved it even more.

Its a beautiful history. Any child shouldn't grow up without reading this book.
I read it because I'm trying to improve my English reading and also because I been hearing about this book for so long, and I always let it back of the pile of books.
I'm so happy to choose it as my second book of my challenge!
If you have a child, please, please, go to their bedroom and read them this book right now!

This E.B. White classic is one of the best books to share with children of just about any age. Wilbur is a perfect proxy for any young child who is learning the confusing, wonderful, and sometimes harsh way of the world and Charlotte is a wonderful parental figure - she explains difficult words, she encourages Wilbur to explore, and she makes a huge sacrifice to ensure he lives the fullest life.
The last two chapters are just perfect as Wilbur and the young readers together discover what Charlotte's efforts have been leading to. Don't expect to be able to read it aloud without a few tears.
