This book is a classic,  All libraries should own more than one copy. The color pictures in this paperback add a nice touch. Classic tale plus an afterword about E.B. White's life include photos and some sketches and rough draft pages of Charlotte's Web.  It was interesting to look at the writing process.

I think that this book was great.  It teaches you that no matter what u look like, how u talk or walk, that people shouldn't treat u differently.  There is no way someone should treat another person differently because of how the look.  To me this book teaches u many solutions(in a way), and life lessons.  I think that this book is so gut wrenching good.  PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!  read this book.  Thanks a ton hon.

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)
