Some Pig. Humble. Radiant.
These are the words in Charlotte’s web, high in the barn. Her spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a little girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur’s life when he was born the runt of his litter.
With an unforgettable cast of characters around the barn, the story of the friends has enchanted readers ever since it was first published. E. B. White’s Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. --front flap
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. :)
