Oof.

This is amazing. “We have so much more in common than what separates us.”

Every page of this book has wisdom to share.

True?

January Reads. Not much for me but I may be coming out of a year long reading slump.

Same Daunis. Same.

The children make a swimming hole. They all go to work picking cherries for the Dr. And Henry wins a race. The dr seems to be trying to get them together with their grandfather without being conspicuous. What do you think?
Sorry I‘m not hosting so well. Have had a lot going on.

I love coming across recycled artwork. The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden had some great displays and I loved this Bedtime Stories, a bed made from books.

Late August wrap up. Can‘t seem to keep up with anything lately.

Ch 5&6. The children dig for treasure lake for their home in the dump and fix it up while Henry is away. Henry found a job. But there is another noise in the woods and we don‘t know what it is this time.

From yesterday: Mystery solved! The noise in the woods was a dog that the children quickly befriend.

Another walk down memory lane begins October 1. All welcome to join this chapter a day readalong.

Chapter three ends on a cliffhanger after Jessie finds a boxcar for their home and Henry goes to town for milk. Who is in the woods?

I‘m sure glad the kids got away from that awful baker‘s wife.

Little late posting our first day. I was on the road earlier. In the first chapter, we meet siblings Henry, Jessie, Benny, and Violet as they stare hungrily at bread in a bakery. They tell the baker‘s wife their parents are dead and they don‘t want to go to their grandfather. The baker‘s wife wants to keep the 3 oldest to work for them but plan to take Benny to the Children‘s Home. The kids overhear and leave in the middle of the night. 👇🏻

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.

My how times have changed. Wilbur wins a special prize and Fern doesn‘t even stick around to see it.

I just love Jerry Craft‘s graphic novels. I‘m excited to hear New Kid is being made into a movie!!

All the stars! I had to finish. This is a childhood story that will always live in my heart and a classic that will never die. It is the perfect story.
Thank you to the group that discussed it with me. It made the rereading even more enjoyable.

Wilbur awakes to find a tired Charlotte and her magnum opus-an egg sac full of 514 eggs! Templeton returns after a night of gorging himself on fair food with bad news about Uncle pig next door already winning. Humble Wilbur gets another buttermilk bath and is called to the stage for a special prize.

Templeton has a blast at the fair and brings back the word humble for Charlotte‘s web. There were a couple pics of Templeton but I had to include this one from the last chapter. This quiet night between Charlotte and Wilbur is so sweet.
