Amazon.com Review
An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.

 Good Story December 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Having a dual form of dyslexia I did not learn to read until later in life. Thus I never read children's books while a child. Maybe that is why I read so many still today. I read this as part of a children's literature course in university.
It is an interesting book, about friendship, commitment, compassion, change and death. As such it deals with a lot of the big questions of life in ways a child can grasp.
For me the most moving part was when Wilber confessed to Charlotte that he did not like the thought of her as a blood sucker, towards the end of her life. Only true friends can be that open and honest.
The book is a powerful tale of true friendship and how our close friends can transform not only us but those around us.
 Fantastic December 5, 2008
I read this fantastic book called Charlottes Web by E.B White. The plot about the book is there is a pig named Wilbur and he was sent to a family called the Zuckermans. Wilbur was in Uncle Homer's barn. The main characters are Wilbur, Fern and Charlotte. Who should read this book is people who like sad endings will enjoy this book. My rating for this book was a 10. The reason why I rated it a ten was because it is an amazing book and also because I like sad endings some times. This is the most fantastic, amazing, awesome, exciting book that I have ever read.
 Charlotte's Web on CD November 22, 2008
I bought this product for my niece who is blind and she has enjoyed the voice on the CD reading her favorite classic.
Timeless Classic for All Ages November 14, 2008
Charlotte's Web is one of those stories that stays with you always. I'm really happy it's received a new wave of interest, thanks to the recent movie. But it's my hope that everyone will also go back and read the book again - or for the first time. It really is a classic.
It's also the perfect way to introduce children to chapter books. The easy language (and spattering of pictures in many editions) makes for unintimidating reading for kids just branching out into larger volumes.
Charlotte's Web (Book) November 2, 2008
Charlotte's Web must be one of the best children's story every written. It is delightful even for adults to read.
You'll never be able to eat pork again. Wilbur does that to you!! I don't like spiders but Charlotte is very sweet and I could tolerate her in my house.
Enjoy the book. It's great to be a child again.
