This book should be on every child's bookshelf. I have read this book dozens of times and still it's hard for me to finish it without shedding a tear. It is so beautifully written and conveys universal messages of friendship, love, and loss with a good amount of humor thrown in too. If you want to learn how to write, read this book! The first sentence is one of the best first lines ever written: "Where's Papa going with that ax?" why is it so good? Because you have to read the second line! It draws you in. You have to study the best to learn how to write! E.B. White writes effortlessly giving life to animals in a way I have yet to see another author do. This is one of my favorite passages: "The barn was very large. It was very old. It smelled of hay and it smelled of manure. It smelled of perspiration of tired horses and the wonderful sweet breath of patient cows. It often had a sort of peaceful smell-as though nothing bad could happen ever agin ton the world" (p.13)
