A terrific, radiant, humble story about some pig.

OMG. Maybe I cried a few times. I loved this book. I listened to the author E B White read it and it was perfect. Wilber and Char!otte. What a wonderful pair. I also liked White's description of life at the Zuckerman farm. I read the book many decades ago but appreciate it even more as an adult.

I must have read this when I was really little (or someone read it to me) but I had no memory of it. So when I found it in a box of old children's books in my parents' basement I had to read it. Wonderful story for kids. It made me long for the summer days of my childhood (not sure why--I lived in the suburbs not on a farm). And I loved Charlotte :)

I read this as a child and have now read it with my children. I hope one day to read it with my grandchildren. What a great story of love despite our differences, and finding the best in everyone!
