Well now, I bought this book for my niece as it has come up in your yearly reading challenge for school。 I noticed it was on goodreads best books ever list so it was a two birds with one stone situation。I know it's a classic and my opinion is unpopular but it was a tad boring。 I finished it to mark off of my list but there really are much better children's books out there。 It wasn't awful and for its time I am sure it was a great book。 The ending was very bitter sweet though and I felt I had for Well now, I bought this book for my niece as it has come up in your yearly reading challenge for school。 I noticed it was on goodreads best books ever list so it was a two birds with one stone situation。I know it's a classic and my opinion is unpopular but it was a tad boring。 I finished it to mark off of my list but there really are much better children's books out there。 It wasn't awful and for its time I am sure it was a great book。 The ending was very bitter sweet though and I felt I had formed an attachment to the characters。 。。。more

The book had a good story and was easy to read。

While I didn't like Wilbur and he got no character development, there were some very memorable quotes。Observe:- "I only distribute pigs to early risers"- "I'm less than two months old and I'm tired of living"- anything Templeton says is a banger While I didn't like Wilbur and he got no character development, there were some very memorable quotes。Observe:- "I only distribute pigs to early risers"- "I'm less than two months old and I'm tired of living"- anything Templeton says is a banger 。。。more

such a charming little story。i distinctly remember bawling my eyes out at (view spoiler)[ charlotte's death (hide spoiler)] as a young child, and though i can't say the same happened upon this reread as a 22 year old, i can say with confidence that i had a smile plastered across my face throughout。 such a charming little story。i distinctly remember bawling my eyes out at (view spoiler)[ charlotte's death (hide spoiler)] as a young child, and though i can't say the same happened upon this reread as a 22 year old, i can say with confidence that i had a smile plastered across my face throughout。 。。。more

I don't give a fig if it is a kid's book, Charlotte's Web is one of the most well-crafted stories ever written。 This classic children's tale deserves 5 stars for story craft and language usage alone! (Read your Strunk & White to understand this man's talents in that regard。) The fact that it's a heart-warmer/wrencher clinches it。 Never was I made to love pigs and spiders so much in my life。 Charlotte's Web will always rank high amongst my favorites。 But why, for the love of god, did they make us I don't give a fig if it is a kid's book, Charlotte's Web is one of the most well-crafted stories ever written。 This classic children's tale deserves 5 stars for story craft and language usage alone!

One of the greatest books of all time!

"A childhood classic。" Who are we kidding? This is a classic for readers of all ages。 It's just as delightful, moving, sad and humorous as I remembered。 It's one of the rare handful of books I can think of (along with The Lord of the Rings trilogy!) that paints a winsome, unique, moving, true portrait of what friendship is all about: Faithfulness。 Acceptance。 Redemption。 Sacrifice。 Humility。 And joy。 Attributes seen in Wilbur's friendship with Fern Arable, as well as with the glorious Charlotte。 "A childhood classic。" Who are we kidding?

We're born, we live a little while, we die。 A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies。 By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle。 Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that。"。。。。。It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer。 Charlotte was both。 。。。more

Charolette’s Web is an excellent book for young children to read and help develops their vocabulary。 It teaches good morals of kindness, friendship, and perseverance。 The only reason it got three stars from me is going back to read it, it can be a little jarring but still a good time to revisit for nostalgia。

Sumia Fatima

For children, it is an amazing read。 From the explicit expression of the sublime emotions of both the pig and the spider。 Its just a wonderful read。 Being a tear jerker and a laugh out aloud book, i would recommed it for all the children out there

I remember this book from very early elementary of my own school days。 So I was thrilled to introduce it to my kiddos。 While they were more interested in listening so that eventually they could watch the movie, it did create some interesting dialogue on spiders, the words Charlotte used, etc。I read aloud some; we listend to the audio book read by EB White some。

Classic read。 Just finished reading it to my daughter。 She loved it and so did I!

Charlotte's Webs is highly entertaining as well as emotional。 Its a storytelling kind of piece for everyone。 The story depicts life in metaphors。 The highlight is how friendship can go a long way in helping others deal with life's difficulties。 Charlotte's Webs is highly entertaining as well as emotional。 Its a storytelling kind of piece for everyone。 The story depicts life in metaphors。 The highlight is how friendship can go a long way in helping others deal with life's difficulties。 。。。more
