5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book
My daughter read this book 30 years ago, so bought this for my granddaughter to read, she loved it as much as her mum did. Brilliant book
5.0 out of 5 stars A children's classic
I fondly remember reading this from my childhood and my boys have loved me reading this as a bedtime story
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great story!
I thought this to read to my little boy (aged 6). I haven’t read this since I was little and I loved reading it again. My little boy loved the story too. He also enjoyed answering the quiz questions at the back of the book.It’s such lovely story about friendship and I think it’s still a great story for kids today.
4.0 out of 5 stars Selfishness is... good?
There are hundreds of reviews to read through, so I do not want or need to cover trampled ground. What I will say is that although I loved this story as a child, as an adult I don't find it to have the same charm. My issue lies with Wilbur. Throughout the text, he is primarily a selfish creature. On the surface, he doesn't seem to always be selfish: he does give compliments to Charlotte from time to time, and he does ultimately lead to the saving of Charlotte's egg sac. However, think about his motives. He clearly saves Charlotte's eggs not only out of love for Charlotte, but more as a means of having a new generation of friends once Charlotte is gone; this is evidenced by his negative reaction to Charlotte's children leaving once they have hatched. Anytime he interacts with Templeton, the supposedly self-centered character, it is because he, Wilbur, wants Templeton to satisfy some need of Wilbur's. Wilbur is a nag constantly demanding Charlotte tell stories, sing songs, save him, etc. In the end, through his selfishness, he survives and continues to have friends, even if not on the same level as the rather one-way friendship he had with Charlotte. So finally, is the point that he who is selfish ultimately gets what he wants? It seems so. And how many of us know people that are selfish and at the end of the day do get what they want? It is rather unpleasant, but this seems to be a reality of the world which E.B. White has captured and encapsulated in our rather ungreat protagonist, Wilbur.

Immaculate condition quick service safely packaged. Grea
5.0 out of 5 stars Totally selfless spider
My 9 year old loved this book and I found it very sad. It’s about a totally selfless spider who gives her all to help a pig…. Helps him with every fibre of her being right up until her dying breath even though she knows she doesn’t have long left. But it’s not all gloom.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book
Gorgeous book
5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story
Charlotte's Web is a wonderful story; but I should argue that having read it as a child and again as an adult, it is not simply for children.The friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider is something rare and special. This is a story which will probably make you laugh and cry for a variety of reasons; but most of all, it will make you remember that life is not a bed of roses and that we succeed or fail in life as a result of how much we are willing to give to and receive from our friends.As a story it rolls along with a good pace and the illustrations are a delight to complement the text. The characters - both human and non-human provide a rich tapestry against which the fate of Wilbur the pig is played out. His special friends, Fern (a young girl who initially saves Wilbur) and Charlotte the spider are faced with many challenges along the way. This is story that has a mix of tension regarding the fate of Wilbur and a wide range of emotions and behavour expressed by the characters, ranging from selfishness to deep love that all seem very real. It is a great story for children, particularly since it blends a magical quality in the animals' ability to speak, but at the same time, it maintains a reality about the nature of life that is too often removed in other works, where the reader is sheltered from the realities of life.It is not surprising that this book is considered to be a gem by so many people.
Good for Reading Class
We were sad that Charlotte didn’t meet her children! But we liked the story a lot. We liked Charlotte! K&N
O livro é lindo!!!
