Look at me reading about spiders again.

Not exactly the same thing as Children of Time but still...

This was part of my "Reading Children Classics for the First Time as an Adult" Challenge for January and... I'm pleasantly surprised!

Cute book about friendship! I'm sure I would have loved it as a kid!

My thoughts in a nutshell Charlotte’s Web is one of my favorite childhood books. I watched it so many times and never got bored with it.The story is about…Skip over this point if you don't like the sneak peek. A little pig who wants to see the first show and who wants to live instead of becoming sausages. What impressed me the most 😊 This little story has many important feelings and lesson. It teaches us to respect other living creatures and how to live side by side in peace. It told about hum...

One of the great tear-jerkers of my long-lost childhood, the unlikely friendship between a spider and a pig makes for wonderful reading and a shared moment of love when reading it to kids. It is tender and teaches the values of constancy and integrity in a light, beautiful prose. A classic and a masterpiece.

Book 23 of 30 for my 30 day reading challenge.

Another classic read with the kids! I love reading to them – they enjoy a chapter every evening and it gives us some good, quality family time. Also, it is cool to see them disappointed if we don’t have time to read (sad, but cool that it is so important to them!)If you don’t remember Charlotte’s Web from your childhood, did you even have a childhood?While it is dated – even more so now than when I read it as a kid – it is a timeless tale of life, death, and friendship. There are so many amazing...

Update 6/2018: I will boldly assert here that I think this is the greatest children's book ever written, and I am embarking today on my 4th read of this classic. It is my youngest child's turn to discover the joys and sorrows of friendship and of life, as presented by one of my favorite writers, Mr. E. B. White. Rest in peace, Andy, you beautiful man.Original review:This is quite ridiculous, that I should read this, at 42-years-old, for the third time in my life, and end up blubbering hot tears ...

If you've never read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, you are utterly missing out on a classic Newbery Honor award winner. Go to the library now and borrow this book first published in 1952. You shouldn't buy it (unless you have children or are giving it as a present), but choose to embrace the entire experience of being a small child walking through your public library's doors, searching for an amazing book and finding yourself bringing home a tale that will make you cry and fall in love all at t...

'pologies to anybody following my reviews in hope of insights into epic fantasy novels - I get through more kids' stuff reading to my little girl (who is too disabled to do it for herself). Charlotte's Web is a book I've been aware of for nearly 40 years but somehow managed to avoid reading when I was little. We picked it up at the hospice last week and read the first half, then had to buy a copy at Waterstones yesterday to finish it off (59 years in print and it's still selling for £6.99 in pap...

I don't give a fig if it is a kid's book, Charlotte's Web is one of the most well-crafted stories ever written. This classic children's tale deserves 5 stars for story craft and language usage alone! (Read your Strunk & White to understand this man's talents in that regard.) The fact that it's a heart-warmer/wrencher clinches it. Never was I made to love pigs and spiders so much in my life. Charlotte's Web will always rank high amongst my favorites. But why, for the love of god, did they mak...
