This was a good book it was sad funny, and happy i like how the pig and girl are best friends that is the main part of the book.

This book was well written, even though it was not my type. It is set on a little farm with the main character Fern. A young country girl embarks on an adventure of friendship and excitement as her pig, Wilbur, is threatened. Will a simple spider save the day? Will they inquire help from a rat? What other lengths will they go to to save Wilbur? Find out in Charlotte's Web.

Wilbur is a young pig, destined for a horrible future. In a package, on a grocery store shelf. But, he knows he'll try his hardest to prevent himself from getting in the grocery store, his new friend, Charlotte, helps him to realize the true potential in himself, that he had all that time!

I want to read this book because Charlotte's gets scared of a spider even though the spider is not trying to harm Charlotte's. and Charlotte runs in to the house because she is scared of the spider.

This book has a lot of sadness in it. Wilbur was going to be killed but was saved by Fern. Wilbur also had to be taken away from Fern, to the farm where he felt lonely. Also, Charlotte died, which I thought was the worst part.

Charlotte's Web is a about a girl that has a best friend that's a pig. Charlotte named the pig wilbur. Charlotte can't concentrate with wibur in her head. The farmer saw a wed above wilbur pen that said "Some pig" everybody like wilbur.

I have read this book many times and I love it! This book is about a girl who finds a piglet who is the runt of the litter. Before he is killed, the girl (Fern) saves him by raising him as her own. She feeds him, cuddles him, she totally loves him. Then, Wilbur moves to a bigger farm and she gets to visit him while Wilbur meets the farm animals and he learns to love a spider, named Charlotte. Charlotte impresses the farm hands with her amazing spinning skills, and eventually saves Wilbur from his doom by being an amazing friend and going through with a plan. It is so amazing! I suggest you read it!

I loved the Charlotte's web. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a case of the classics and loves creativity and imagination. Before I read this book, I hated spiders... but after reading it, I'm having second thoughts. The author is amazing and I think she had a pure sense of empathy herself. Also, I remember when the second graders put on a play based on this book at our school. This is a sweet read and will surely touch your heart.
