Customer Rating: Summary: Charlotte's Web on CD Comment: I bought this product for my niece who is blind and she has enjoyed the voice on the CD reading her favorite classic. Customer Rating: Summary: Timeless Classic for All Ages Comment: Charlotte's Web is one of those stories that stays with you always. I'm really happy it's received a new wave of interest, thanks to the recent movie. But it's my hope that everyone will also go back and read the book again - or for the first time. It really is a classic.
It's also the perfect way to introduce children to chapter books. The easy language (and spattering of pictures in many editions) makes for unintimidating reading for kids just branching out into larger volumes.
Customer Rating: Summary: Charlotte's Web (Book) Comment: Charlotte's Web must be one of the best children's story every written. It is delightful even for adults to read.
You'll never be able to eat pork again. Wilbur does that to you!! I don't like spiders but Charlotte is very sweet and I could tolerate her in my house.
Enjoy the book. It's great to be a child again. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Good Book Comment: This is the story about the famous pig Wilbur, who was born tiny, but was saved by a little girl, Fern, and later saved by a spider named Charlotte.
Fern convinces her dad to let her take care of the tiny baby pig until he is big enough to go back into the barn. After he goes back into the barn, he still needs to be saved from being made into ham and bacon and sausage.
I loved the cozy barn life and the animals, and the relationship of Wilbur, Charlotte, Fern, Templeton, the sheep, and the geese.
I also loved the fair. I love fairs, so naturally, I loved this part of the book.
The first time I read this book was when I was thirteen. Back then, I really loved the book so much, and felt it was perfect and flawless. Since then, I saw bits and pieces of the movie when it came on tv (I'm not a tv or movie watcher).
I always knew I would eventually read the book again. I finally did. However, this time, I did not find it perfect and flawless. Although the storyline was still perfect and sweet, there were gross things in this book that did not bother me when I was thirteen. The older I get, the more sensitive I get. It's hard to believe I grew up in a farm/ranch situation and around "gross" things, but they didn't bother me back then; now I know I could never live on a farm again. That's why one star is missing; while I was reading this book, I couldn't eat or even think about eating - I'm that sensitive to "gross" things. Customer Rating: Summary: Too much analysis ruins a good book... Comment: **SPOILERS**
Well. I liked all but the ending. It's written in a way that it's interesting, although the details are really annoying, but the dialogue is all very child-friendly and realistic [even though it's animals talking XD]
Charlotte should not have died. That was a horrible ending, and way too obvious, couldn't be any more predictable. If she absolutely had to die, there shouldn't have been all those prior hints, it was just too much. I mean, is there anyone who didn't cry upon her death when they read this book as a child? You can't not cry. It's heartbreaking to the little kid reading the book that their favorite character is dead. Charlotte symbolizes that adult in everyone's life that they unconditionally love, and NO, this is not a good way to introduce death to children, it's traumatic.
But um...other than that random rant, great book. Love all the random characters, and I'm kind of disheartened by the lack of love I see towards Templeton!
I dunno. I guess analysis in class has kind of ruined the childish magic of the book for me...
