Charlotte's Web: The beloved modern classic from the bestselling author (A Puffin Book)

Such a beautiful story giving so many messages about being kind and non judgemental for both children and adults

Bought as a gift for my 7 year old niece. I read it years ago and thought it was a lovely story.

Every child should read

Product is in great quality.

Brilliant book for children

Charlotte's Web is a wonderful story; but I should argue that having read it as a child and again as an adult, it is not simply for children. The friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider is something rare and special. This is a story which will probably make you laugh and cry for a variety of reasons; but most of all, it will make you remember that life is not a bed of roses and that we succeed or fail in life as a result of how much we are willing to give to and receive from our friends. As a story it rolls along with a good pace and the illustrations are a delight to complement the text. The characters - both human and non-human provide a rich tapestry against which the fate of Wilbur the pig is played out. His special friends, Fern (a young girl who initially saves Wilbur) and Charlotte the spider are faced with many challenges along the way. This is story that has a mix of tension regarding the fate of Wilbur and a wide range of emotions and behavour expressed by the characters, ranging from selfishness to deep love that all seem very real. It is a great story for children, particularly since it blends a magical quality in the animals' ability to speak, but at the same time, it maintains a reality about the nature of life that is too often removed in other works, where the reader is sheltered from the realities of life. It is not surprising that this book is considered to be a gem by so many people.

A lovely story, my 7 year old loved it

For an arachnophobe it always feels paradoxical that this should be one of my favourite ever books, but it just is. A truly beautiful story that leaves me in floods every time, this is the perfect addition to any home library
