Charlotte's Web (Book/Movie)


This book was written by E.B. White and it is one of my all time favorite books. I read it every spring to my students. It is a true classic and has been loved by many generations. The book was first published in 1952. It is about a runt pig named Wilbur who is raised by a little girl named Fern. Wilbur is later saved from being slaughtered by Charlotte, an intelligent spider whom Wilbur befriends. All the farm animals in the book talk and each of them have their own unique personality.
Charlotte's Web has been produced into a cartoon/movie more than once but the most recent production was created in 200Add Image6 and it starred Dakota Fanning as Fern. The movie follows the book very closely and portrays all the characters very well. I was not disappointed at all! I thought it was a great movie!
