I liked this book because it is about friendship. A girl named Fern saved a pig from being killed because it was the runt of the litter. Fern named the pig Wilbur. When Wilbur got older he had to live at Fern's Uncle's farm. Wilbur met a spider named Charlotte and they became friends.

Charlotte's Web is about a girl who saves a pig from getting slaughtered by her father,and keeps him as her pet. The pig meats a spider who try's to save him from getting eaten on Christmas.She does this by putting words on the webs that she makes.I'm trying my best not to blow it to people who haven't read the book yet. Just going to let you know that you will be crying near the end of the book.

Totally classic and great book.

This was a great book, and I really enjoyed it. If there is a downside, it would be that the ending turned out to be very sad. It is about a young girl that takes a pig as a pet. The story covers both the young girl's life and the pig's everyday activities in the barn where many interesting things happen.

I really liked this book! It is about Fern a girl who saves wilbur the pig. Then Charlotte the spider saves him! It is really an amazing read, I would recommend this to everyone!

Charlottes Web is the beloved story of Wilbur and Charlotte's friendship. This book is by E. B. White who also wrote Staurt Little and The Trumpet and the Swan. Charlotte's Web will keep you attached to the book, and tells of the heartwarming story of Wilbur and Charlotte. Overall, I liked this book a lot, but didn't really like the theme.

I am totally loving this book!

I absolutely loved this book. It is very well written. The characters really came to life. The whole story was very uplifting and beautiful. I would highly recommend this book!

Charlotte's Web is one of my favorite books. I've probably read it 5 times already. I love the part when Charlotte writes Some Pig and Radiant in the web. I'm sad at the end which is weird because I don't really like spiders in real life.

This is a classic book with Fern saves Wilbur from her father hurting Wilbur. Then Charlotte becomes Wilbur's friend, then Wilbur is afraid what will happen to him in the Winter. So, Charlotte made webs and everybody thought it was so cool that the webs had words on them. Now, the family decided to put Wilbur in the county fair, Wilbur didn't win the contest. Then, someone asked the family to come on stage and Wilbur won a medal. The only sad part is that Charlotte had eggs and died. While Wilbur is waiting for the eggs to hatching sound the sound was the eggs all the little spiders left Wilbur, only there was three more spiders that said they will be his friend. So, it turns out Wilbur was the pig that saw it's first winter. I do recommend this book.
