Charlotte's Web

E.B. White

4.08 AVERAGE


I enjoyed sharing this classic (through Audible) with my 6 year old daughter, who also enjoyed the story. I think it was neat to have it read by the author, however there were more than several occasions where you could hear the pages turning as he read and sometimes his voice became a little monotone and it was hard to really get into those parts of the tale.

Book 5 of 2019

Charlotte had written the word RADIANT, and Wilbur really looked radiant as he stood in the golden sunlight. Ever since the spider had befriended him, he had done his best to live up to his reputation. When Charlotte's web said SOME PIG, Wilbur had tried hard to look like some pig. When Charlotte's web said TERRIFIC, Wilbur had tried to look terrific. And now that the web said RADIANT, he did everything possible to make himself glow.

It's amazing what a kind word will do for someone else. We should all be more like Charlotte.

Review 2023: I have read this with my children a few times now and every time I do, I love the experience! My 4, 6, and 8 year old all loved it.

Original review: This was, of course, a really quick and fun read. I love books like this. I loved the simple, slow moving life it depicted and I loved how it spelled out very simply profound truths about life and people. I already knew the plot from the movies, but of course, the book is always better. I also love happy ending books. This is my favorite children's classic.

Well I had never read Charlotte's Web, which is a classic of English children's literature but for some reason hasn't made it to French kids' basics like some others.

So imagine my surprise when realizing that Charlotte's web is...really a out a pig

Reread this (20 years later) with my first graders and it’s still as sweet and heart warming as I remembered. My class also loved it and would beg for me to keep reading. Can’t beat a good classic.

I read this to my 5 year old and it was also the first time I have read it. I found myself getting emotional towards the end. When I asked my 5 year old how many stars we should give it she said five!

Such a sweet story for kids!
