Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

5.0

This E.B. White classic is one of the best books to share with children of just about any age. Wilbur is a perfect proxy for any young child who is learning the confusing, wonderful, and sometimes harsh way of the world and Charlotte is a wonderful parental figure - she explains difficult words, she encourages Wilbur to explore, and she makes a huge sacrifice to ensure he lives the fullest life.

The last two chapters are just perfect as Wilbur and the young readers together discover what Charlotte's efforts have been leading to. Don't expect to be able to read it aloud without a few tears.
