Charlotte's Web

E.B. White

4.08 AVERAGE


As crazy as this is, I actually had never read this book before this year. It was the first book my Children/YA Lit class read this semester. I knew the story so I was surprised when I asked my mom if I had ever seen the movie when I was little, and she said I hadn't. I guess I just knew the story because of how popular it is.

Charlotte's Web is just as good as everyone else says it is. It's such a heartbreaking, heartwrenching story that not only teaches morals and a good story, it also has good science-y information about spiders. I learned things about spiders in this book that I had no idea about before! The story is SO good and teaches a lot about friendship and sacrifice. I loved it, and I'm so glad I finally read it.

A sweet little story about pig Wilbur and his spidery friend Charlotte. 

What I took from it was that no matter the species, women will work their ass off and men will reap the credits.

Oh dear - my second time trying to read this book which I don't recall reading as a child and I couldn't get through it - again! I love children's books but I think this one just is not for me.
