Charlotte 's Web was an excellent choice to read to the children. I would recommend it completely to all ages. I would recommend, that with younger children, you should prepare them for Charlotte 's death, otherwise, you may get some of them crying, and goodness knows we don't want that. Charlotte's Web is a heartfelt tale that many generations have and will enjoy.

It was cool
Charlotte's Web is a very touching story. I will never get tired or bored of reading it because it will always be heartwarming and beautiful to read about a pig who is saved by a spider. The description is amazing and the book is filled with unexpected, brave characters that make the story complete.
This book is about a girl and a pig who love each other. They have an humungoes adventure together in a barn. Have a good day! Read it!
I don't like classics, but this one is an exception...
I love this book it is so sad at the end
I wanted to read this book again because I read it as a 3rd grader and needed to remember what it was about.
Great read to prepare for Third Grade.
Fern has saved Wilbur’s life. He was smaller than the other pigs, and Fern’s father was going to turn him into bacon, but Fern took him as her pet. Now, after Fern has cared for him a while, they have sold him to Fern’s uncle; Mr. Homer Zuckerman. Fern goes to her uncle’s farm every day to see Wilbur, and talk to the animals. But then, the sheep brings them to the attention that the Zuckermans are going to turn Wilbur into bacon and ham at Christmas! Charlotte, a new spider friend of Wilbur’s, promises to help save him, and weaves words that are “a miracle”. Wilbur soon becomes famous, and people from all over come to see the words in Charlotte’s web. In a story of true friendship and helping others, E.B. White writes another classic that will never be forgotten. My thoughts: I love E.B. White! I was introduced to that author when I read Stuart Little with my mom as a youngster. I thought that was a great story, and when my mom told me to read Charlotte’s Web, I did not decline. I am pretty positive I have seen this movie, but I do not remember it. I really enjoyed reading this book; I love the bond between Fern and the other animals. Her mother is always saying “Animals don’t talk. Stop making things up.”, but Fern has a really deep connection withWilbur. Animals are a big part in our lives, whether we realize it or not. Also, the illustrations complemented the text very well, and I like how Rosemary Wells spruced them up by adding some color to them. So, a great book for fans of Stuart Little and E.B. White.
I read this book with my class and it was fun.
