I remember reading Charlotte's Web when I was a child and later watching the movie. This is by far, one of my favorite childhood books. The difference about reading it then, and reading it now, was that I was able to experience the journey of this story while reading it with my 9 yr old daughter.
We finished the book last night. For years I've been reading books TO her but this was the first time we ever buddy read. She had her copy, and I had mine. She would read on her down time in school and I would read during lunch at work. Come pick up time, she would run out of school eager to jump into the car and discuss our days' read.
There were days when she would be super excited to discuss what she read, like when the geese had her goslings or whenever Charlotte wrote a new message. Then there were days where she came to my car wearing a frown because Charlotte was tired and didn't want to do much.
Last night we decided to read the last two chapters together before bed and it was such an emotional read..... for the first time ever, as she read Wilbur's goodbye to Charlotte, my daughter turned to me with tears down her cheeks because of her read. She stopped and asked me to take over because it was just too sad for her to read. As I finished the last few pages Wilbur made some new friends and in the end my daughter closed her book with a smile on her face.
Such an amazing experience reading this WITH her.
Her question when we were done....
"So, what are we reading next?"

Was reading for homeschool but it is not working for my kiddo🥲
This is a very entertaining book I read to my children. It was some years ago and I might just have enjoyed it more than they did. The heroine of course was Charlotte and very creatively written.
My favorite part is when Fern's mom goes to the doctor concerned that Fern is lying about hearing animals talk and becoming anti-social and the doctor is like "I think animals can probably talk."
The three main characters Charlotte, Wilbur, and Templeton make an awesome family. There's a lot of food for thought in this one (not pork).

How can you not adore this book? It was one of my childhood favorites and I was just as enchanted with it as an adult!
I love the descriptions of the farm and the passage of time. The deep friendship presented between Charlotte and Wilbur is delightful and heartbreaking and just deeply beautiful!

A classic. A great book / story for young and old alike.
I have always loved Charlottes Web, as a child I loved pigs. I had over 30 stuffed pigs and at least 5 were named Wilbur.
Still hate spiders
