Reread but this time with the youngest who is 6. He didn't enjoy this as much as his big brother did at this age but I still love it. It's a sweet classic. Now we're ready to watch the movie again!
Una hermosa historia sobre la amistad para los más pequeños.
I reread this for the first time as an adult, and it was still enjoyable just as it was when I was a child! I read it to my daughters, ages 5 and 3, who also loved hearing about Charlotte and Wilbur every day. It was our first read aloud chapter book in our homeschool, and it was a success. Will definitely be reading it again when the baby is older.
2024 Update: Read again with the above mentioned "baby" who is almost 6! She loved it as her first read aloud with Mama for "school".

A delightful story of growing up, and the magic we feel as children. A surprisingly lovely tale of caring adults and sensitive children on a far that stands the test of time.

Re-reading books with my son has been thoroughly enjoyable. Charlotte's Web is no different. I love the part where Mrs. Arable asks the doctor if he thinks animals can talk, and he answers that maybe adults don't know how to listen to them anymore.

A children's classic with some really lovely passages and descriptions of nature. However, I find most of the characters slightly grating.
“the next day as the ferris wheel was being taken apart and the race horses were being loaded into vans and the entertainers were packing up their belongings and driving away in their trailers, charlotte died. the fair grounds were soon deserted. the sheds and buildings were empty and forlorn. the infield was littered with bottles and trash. nobody, of the hundreds of people who visited the fair, knew a grey spider played the most important part of all. no one was with her when she died.”
i’m going to need a lifetime to recover from charlottes death.
