This is the story of a little girl named Fern who loves a little pig named Wilbur—and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte, a beautiful large grey spider who lives with Wilbur in the barn. With the help of Templeton, the rat who never does anything for anybody unless there is something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saves the life of Wilbur, who is quite some pig.

I have a heavy nostalgia bias. I read this book probably 10 times as a kid. I also watched both the animated movie and the CGI film 20 times. I read it again as an adult a while ago and will definitely read it again. If you have a kid, you should absolutely get them a copy. :)
