Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


From Publishers Weekly

E.B. White's enduring classic celebrates in style with the release of the Charlotte's Web 5oth Anniversary Retrospective Edition. The handsome volume sports a clothbound cover framing original jacket art; inside, Rosemary Wells adds country color to Garth Williams's original b&w illustrations. An afterword by Peter F. Neumeyer illuminates White's life and work, including photographs of the author on his farm in Maine as well as pages from the seminal manuscript.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, Dec 7 2008
By Steven R. McEvoy "MCWPP" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Having a dual form of dyslexia I did not learn to read until later in life. Thus I never read childrens books while a child. Maybe that is why I read so many still today. I read this as part of a childrens literature course in university.

It is an interesting book, about friendship, commitment, compassion, change and death. As such it deals with a lot of the big questions of life in ways a child can grasp.

For me the most moving part was when Wilber confessed to Charlotte that he did not like the thought of her as a blood sucker, towards the end of her life. Only true friends can be that open and honest.

The book is a powerful tale of true friendship and how our close friends can transform not only us but those around us.

(First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvel of Literature, Feb 3 2008
By Vera C. Fran "book nut" (British Columbia) - See all my reviews
E. B. White spins a wonderful tale aboout a little girl called Fern, a lovable pig named Wilbur, and a wise old spider known as Charlotte. This magical, classic story explores the pivotal moments of growing up on a farm. From the start, the reader is entranced by Fern's wholehearted rescue of Wilbur, and is transported to a barnyard world of talking animals. Charlotte and Wilbur become fast friends and E. B. White cleverly maneuvres between the mystical quality of talking animals and the practical life on the farm as the story unfolds on many levels creating a straightforward, yet sophisticated theme. The reading audience is treated, with marvelous wit, to 'gaa, gaa, gaaing geese, a wiry old rat, Templeton, and a host of other farm animal characters.
Wonderful, wonderful story; great for 4-year old to adult. I loved it! Can I give it 6 stars?

5.0 out of 5 stars Story of frienships and love, May 7 2007
By David - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   

Charlotte's Web is a wonderufl tale of a young girl, her precious pig Wilbur, and a wonderful spider. The book is a beautiful story of friendship, love, and loyalty. It is a tender story of a lovely young girl and a very smart spider who together instill self esteem and dignity in their friend Wilbur. It truly is a book of life, in that all of the animal characters mirror people in this world who face the challenge of living their lives each day. It reminds me very much of a great series of children's books titled "Why some cats are rascals". In that three-book series the heroic cats also live their lives like humans. Both titles belong to my Top Ten Read-Aloud list.
