What a gem. Sweet, funny, wonderfully written. What all kids books should be.
Is there a child in your life whom you'd like to see cry? Try reading them this book.
- Charlotte explaining a bridge to Wilbur "...just keep trotting back and forth across the bridge thinking there is something better on the other side"; loved the explanation, even though it was just a small part of the conversation discussing the rush-rush-rush of men
- Narrator's explanation of the rope swing in the barn was so vivid that I could almost feel like I was swinging on it
- Dr dorian's quote of "but i dont understand everything, and i don't intend to let it worry me" was great; I feel the same way, Dr. Dorian
Very wholesome, innocent book about friendship. Surprised that I had never read this before.

I read this as a child and loved it (and cried my eyes out) and most recently I read this in chapters to my little girl as her bed time story. It took us about a month and we both loved it!
- Even though it's a kid's book it was still good to read.
- I used to like the movie as a kid so it was great to read the book it was telling the story of.
- Liked the messages of life and death, language, and friendship in this book.
- Wilbur does not deserve Charlotte as a friend. Although, he's young, so he wouldn't appreciate her as well as he should've, but I felt like the friendship was very one-sided.
- Charlotte died with no one around. There was a line in the book at her death that was really sad and poignant for me.
- Loved that a couple of Charlotte's kids stayed with Wilbur in the end, because Wilbur loved their mum and they loved that sentiment.

The first book I read, it was so long ago the memory of reading it is fuzzy. I remember having to read it during 2nd or 3rd grade and then at the end of the year the class got to watch the movie. Good times, good times.
