A bit of a different take on the word “horn.“

Speculative book with a great theme and lesson. Highly recommend for older readers 4th and up.

Incorporates talking animals that makes the story come alive and more enjoyable for the students

Beautiful story to read to children and teach them about the power of friendship

“It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.”

This story follows Wilbur and his spider friend Charlotte. In this story, the two work together to stop Wilbur from being sent to the butcher by weaving words into Charlotte‘s web.

“It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.”

Follow Wilbur the pig and his friend Charlotte as they navigate the challenges of farm life. This story teaches the value of friendship and loyalty.

This is a touching tale of friendship and sacrifice, the author explores themes of love and loss through the bond between a pig and a spider.

“You have been my friend,“ replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing.“ This line tells the central theme of friendship and the deep bond between Charlotte and Wilbur.

I would use this book in my classroom to teach students about friendship, loyalty and the cycle of life.

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

“One of the most important things in the world is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.“

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.

“I don‘t understand it, and I don‘t like what I don‘t understand.”

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.

4⭐️ 1st book for #deweysreadathon; a nice read to start off with. I started at the start time but fell asleep at around 6:30 am and woke up about 30 minutes later. #deweyoct #readathon #childrens #middlegrade #2023 #bookreview #fiction #classics #newberyhonor #greatamericanread

I discovered Charlotte's Web in my elementary school library. The story of Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship touched my heart. I formed a personal bond with the characters and learned the value of selflessness and kindness

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 looked everywhere for my copy, but had to make due with this screenshot of my favorite book about #cobwebs for #AutumnPlease

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, ⬇

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

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.

Absolutely perfect. As delightful to read as an adult as it was as a child. Many thanks, @megnews , for choosing this as the August #ChildhoodReminiscenceRead .

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.
