Book Reviews of Charlotte's Web
Book Review: Children's Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care what weird opinions you have on talking animals (frankly, I can't stand a lot of them, either). But Charlotte's Web is a fable about friendship told properly fable-ish through the voices of animals and a little girl who are thrown together in an effort to keep a pig from certain doom. Yes, it's cutesy, but it is for children and they love it. The animals all have their separate personalites and I have personally seen adult books that can't have the characterization of these. It's a great, timeless story.Book Review: Timeless Classic for All Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
Charlotte's Web is one of those stories that stays with you always. I'm really happy it's received a new wave of interest, thanks to the recent movie. But it's my hope that everyone will also go back and read the book again - or for the first time. It really is a classic.
It's also the perfect way to introduce children to chapter books. The easy language (and spattering of pictures in many editions) makes for unintimidating reading for kids just branching out into larger volumes.
Book Review: One of the Greats
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this classic to my kids (and to myself, decades ago), and two of my daughters have read it too.
My 10-year old says that she find it believeable, even with the talking animals. By that, I think that she appreciates the humanization of the animal characters. This is a story, tenderly told, about life and death, friendship, selfishness and generosity, and generally what it means to live among others. Read it with your kids.
Book Review: five stars plus!
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter how many times I read this book, I always cry at the end. The lessons of beautiful, enduring friendship are encapsulated in wonderful prose. the characters are lively - "3 dimensional" - the settings are recognizable, the problems believable. this book can be enjoyed by everyone- your kids, young adults, grandparents. it speaks grippingly and compellingly to all. if you will buy only one book this year, this must be it!Book Review: Really Cute BOOK...A MUST READ
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really cute book and a must read for adults and children..This book is especially wonderful for children who grow up with multiple languages at home. I won't give away too much, but I will say this much.. The Pig *WILBUR* will go through this book dealing with several big life changes like any child...and children can easily read or have this book be read to them to learn to understand about "life" better.
