Cute Easy Reader for Fans of the Movie, Sep 1 2011
By Nicola Manning - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charlotte's Web: Wilbur's Prize (Paperback)
Reason for Reading:ds read aloud as his reader.
This easy reader is based on the more recent live action movie, rather than the book, there fore there are a few dissimilarities between it's events and those of the original book. This easy reader covers the time period between when the Zuckerman's pack everything up for the County Fair and Wilbur, Templeton & Charlotte arrive. Wilbur find's he has competition in Uncle next door and Charlotte spins the word "HUMBLE" for Wilbur. Wilbur is not really concerned with winning at this point as he is happy he has such good friends.
The illustrations are very nice trying to capture the essence of the movie characters rather than duplicate the original illustrations. The book was not an easy read for ds. He did manage to read it in one reading period though, 20 minutes with 3 mins. to spare. We watched the animated version of the movie after reading the original book and once told about the live version movie ds had no interest in seeing it, so we won't be going there any time in the future. Cute easy reader for fans of Charlotte's web, movie or book.
