Charlottes web (1952)

Don't stop reading to your children once they learn how to read. Pick a night a week and read a chapter from your favorite childhood novels. My girls are only 2 and 4-years-old but they looked forward to their father reading them Charolette's Web before they fell asleep. It will also reaquaint you with your youth. ( )

I have always loved classic children's literature and have read much of it. I especially love the classics that have animals in them. This particular book is one of my favorites and I think it is equally good when you read it as an adult or as a child. The characters are engaging and realistic and the story draws you in. It is a book I enjoy re-reading. ( )

I knew this story from my childhood but only as a film. So I decided to read it this time.

Although it's a book for children, I truly enjoyed the story. It was really fun to read about Wilbur's naivety, horrifying to read about Charlotte's eating habits, and pleasant to read about Wilbur's and Charlotte's friendship.

Now I want to watch the film again. And I am definitely going to read this book to my daughter when she is a little bit older. ( )

how did i never actually read this before? i'm so enjoying these middle grade books that i get to read with my kid, and this one was no exception. i loved it. this was a beautiful story, and it was written so well. i always assumed this was more a story about a girl and her pig, but it turns out i was made to relate to and appreciate a spider, something that is no small feat. the public may have been led to believe that wilbur was some pig, and sure he seemed awfully lovable, but charlotte was really some spider. what a wonderful story of friendship and standing up for/protecting your friends. and it's written so well. all of the animals and all of the people are so relatable. i loved this.
