Charlotte's Web
Charlotte's Web | E B White
This is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur - and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn. With the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of their own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to be quite a pig.

The first book published in 1952, is the only version of the story. The book has become a classic children's novel, telling the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider named Charlotte. This is a story of traditional literature

The key lesson from Charlotte's Web is the importance of friendship and kindness. True friends, like Charlotte, will go out of their way to help and support one another, even in difficult times. This is a good lesson to teach students.

Charlotte's Web is a story about a pig named Wilbur, who befriends a wise spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur's life is in danger of being slaughtered, Charlotte weaves “Some Pig“ into her web to convince the farmers that Wilbur is special. Her efforts save Wilbur's life, and the story highlights friendship, sacrifice, and the cycle of life.

At the bottom left is the book I've had the longest, but it's not inscribed and also only special to me because I've had it since I was 5. But Charlotte's Web was given by my favorite great-aunt and uncle -- maybe when I was 8? -- and is much loved. I

I thought I hadn‘t read this before, but I show it marked as read but with no date on GR.

Overall, I enjoyed this. There was a moment where I though Wilbur demanded too much of Charlotte. Lay off, pig, she is already saving your life. I really enjoyed the other animals on the farm, especially the geese and even Templeton, who is a bit of a jerk.

My third time reading through this one, first with my kiddo. Written for its time, I did a fair share of helping him understand words no longer used but I think it helped keep him engaged a bit longer with each read-aloud session because he was listening for words he didn't automatically know.

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to visit a few different states in Australia, and this was posted at the front desk of our hotel in the Blue Mountains. Points for trying, but let's be honest, if I get bit by something I won't have the wherewithal to identify what kind of creature it is let alone its sub-species.

E.B. White's “Charlotte's Web“ is all about friendship and helping others. In the classroom, it's a great way to talk about kindness, empathy, and the circle of life. You can also discuss how the author creates characters and hidden meanings in the story.

I enjoyed revisiting this childhood classic this month. Charlotte's Web was never my favorite growing up, and I still don't love it, but it's a decent read and I can see why so many people are fond of it. For me, growing up in a farming community, even as a kid it was hard for me to get past the sentimentalizing of raising animals for slaughter, which I realize isn't actually the purpose of the book, ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but I still don't like teaching kids that animals spend their lives in terror, knowing that death lurks around the corner, when they simply don't haha So this book gets an A+ for themes of friendship and loyalty, but a D- on accurate representation of farming practices 😂

Thanks so much for hosting this buddy read @megnews !!

Charlotte‘s eggs hatch but most of her babies take off on the wind. Three stay behind and Wilbur tells them of how he and their mother were such great friends. 😭
The End

Roary47 I just keep thinking about Wilbur wanting them all to stay. He is such a kind hearted creature. I‘m glad there was a few that stayed. Where does a new born spider come up with that name for A? Honestly, only heard of it in this book. 😅 1y

The worst chapter. Charlotte just be left behind at the fair. At Wilbur‘s pleading, Templeton brings her egg sac down to the crate to return to the farm with Wilbur.

AnnR Every once in a while, I'd feel a bit sorry for Templeton. Then his nasty attitude would come out and any empathy would disappear. Poor Charlotte, though. The saddest chapter. 1y

I‘ve read Charlotte many times both as a kid and as an adult, each time equally as charming and each time with a tug at the heartstrings. Such memorable characters.
