This was such a sweet book, I really enjoyed the humour. Can't believe it took me this long to pick it up and read it.

I absolutely love this book. I think everyone should read it. It inspires a large amount of empathy for all creatures and shines a light on the mundane but beautiful life on the farm. As a vegetarian, it also holds a special place in my heart for how kindly all the creatures are treated, though I always cry at the end.

One of the best bedtime read-alouds our family has done. A few tiny elements feel outdated and prompted conversation, but mostly this is a total pleasure to revisit as a grownup. You can feel the care that White put into every word choice. And those last couple sentences…sigh.

This book had lessons about caring for someone else, responsibility, imagination, foes, friendships, and family. I do not ever remember reading this book as a child so I really wanted to give it a try, honestly just because the title is my name. The story kept me intrigued, wanting to see what was to come. Charlotte did not want her friend to die and she did every thing in her power to guarantee Wilbur lives a full some, terrific, and humble life. Such a good good read!!!

When I was about to start it, an acquaintance told me that its protagonist is a pig and it's about how a spider saved his life; how good it could be? Hearing his opinion I avoided it for about a week but started it a couple of days ago.
I finished it last night. This morning that acquaintance was unfortunately found murdered, stabbed to death, in mysterious circumstances. I wonder why would anyone want to murder him.

This was such an enjoyable listen. I liked this movie growing up but I don't think I ever read the book. What a classic though!
