Part of a challenge where I ask my husband to pick books for me—one per decade of the 20th century. This was the pick for the 1950s.
I have an interest in children literature. Especially the classics. But I still have so many to read that have never been part of my childhood (partly because I didn’t know English as a child—we had other books to entertain us). Charlotte’s Web *was* one of this blind spots in my knowledge that I’m so glad to have filled! It was honestly very charming. I don’t have much more to say about it. It was charming and sweet and a little sad (yes, I cried) and made me smile a lot. I’m taking away .5 star mostly for a few details regarding Fern that annoyed me (the whole thing with her friend Henry seemed more fitting for a girl a little other than 8yo, the scene with the mom and the doctor, and the fact that she missed the ribbon ceremony at the end)

Un buen libro para niños. El autor claramente conoce la vida de los animales y la vida en la granja.
Y es un gran amante de ambas. Es un libro que da estos detalles como si nada y los encaja perfectamente en la historia. Una historia simple pero con mucho incertidumbre para los niños, con todo tipo de emociones. Quiza la edad para leerlo es 8 años o asi.
