Charlotte's Web is a wonderufl tale of a young girl, a wonderful spider, and her precious pig, Wilbur. Charlotte saves Wilbur's life and the book is a beautiful story of friendship, love, and loyalty. It truly is a book of life, in that all of the animal characters mirror people in this world who face the challenge of living their lives each day. It also is a tender story of the love of a young girl and a very smart spider who together instill self esteem and dignity in their friend Wilbur. As an elementary school teacher, this book is in my Top Ten Read-Aloud list.
