Charlottes Web
On foggy mornings, Charlotte's web was truly a thing of beauty . Even Lurvy, who wasn't particularly interested in beauty, noticed the web when he came with the pig's breakfast. And then he took another look and he saw something that made him set his pail down. There, in the centre of the web, neatly woven in block letters, was a message. It said: SOME PIG! This is the story of a little girl named Fern, who loves a little pig named Wilbur - and of Wilbur's dear friend, Charlotte, a beautiful large grey spider. When Fern's uncle decrees that Wilbur must become bacon, Fern, Charlotte, Templeton the rat and all Wilbur's farmyard friends come up with an ingenious plan to fool the humans, and save their very special pig. Joyful, funny, and deeply moving, Charlotte's Web is a story about the power of friendship, and celebrating what makes everyone special. It is rightly heralded as one of the greatest children's books ever written.
Hootworthy or Not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White 📖 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐ I know this is a classic, but I found it a little slow compared to the books I usually love. The story was sweet, and I liked the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte, but some parts felt sad and took a long time to get going. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The farm setting was described beautifully, and I could really picture the barn and the animals. 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Friendship can come in unexpected ways, and kindness makes the world a better place. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 2.5/5 Hoots – Not my favourite, but still a nice story! A gentle, heartwarming book—great if you love animal stories!
