Charlotte's Web - E.B. White Reviews

I like my children to read as many books on as many subjects as possible, which is not an easy task at all! It's hard to drag them from their Alex Riders and Jeremy Strongs. But a few years back, I managed this when Borgette chose the children's classic, Charlotte's Web. We read it over a series of nights between us, with me ...  Read the complete review

We all have books which we remember fondly from childhood - I still love Dr Seuss books for instance. My favourite book from childhood is, however "Charlotte's Web" by E B White. I can still recall having this book read to me when I was nine years old in school and being captivated by the characters, the story and ...  Read the complete review

I love a good childrens story, and having a 6 year old in the family gives me a good chance to enjoy the story too. Charlottes Web is new to me, but has all the elements necessary for a good read, it has an interesting plot, drama, sadness, and a triumphant ending. Wilbur the pig is the runt of the litter, he is destined for ...  Read the complete review

While many people may be familiar with E.B. White's stories, Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, thanks to recent blockbuster films, they may not be aware that these stories were indeed books first. They are well worth the read, for no matter how good a film is, the books themselves have subtle messages that cannot be translated into ...  Read the complete review

What a deprived childhood I must have had, for I cannot remember reading any book back then, that was ever as enthralling and enchanting as 'Charlottes Web'. Of course I had heard of it, just never read it. So when I came across it in the book store, I decided to read it. O.K, at nearly 32 years old, you may be thinking I'm a ...  Read the complete review

I first read Charlottes Web as a child, it was probably one of the first books I read from cover to cover and it has stayed in my mind ever since. I have read a further three times over the years (all as an adult) and have never tired of it. It is a fantastic tale of the relationship between a young farmers daughter called Fern ...  Read the complete review

There is no doubt about it - this is a classic book. Having to teach what makes good writing good, EB White's tale of a lonely pig certainly makes the grade. The basic plot is that Wilbur, a runt, is left on the Zuckerman's farm to be fattened up for sale, until his best friend Charlotte (a spider) comes along and gives ...  Read the complete review

Did I ever tell you what a lucky little reader I was? Well I was. I come from good bookworming stock you know – parents, grandparents, there were piles of books all over every house I spent any time in as a child. But I was even luckier. My mother had her dream job and mine too – she worked for Penguin Books. Every ...  Read the complete review
