Charlotte's Web by: E.B. White is just one of those stories that everyone falls in love with. It begins with a little girl named Fern that rescues a pig runt, Wilbur, from being killed. She cares and loves this runt until he is too big to care for any longer. Wilbur is then sent to a farm to live. Wilbur befriends a spider, Charlotte, and learns that soon it will be time for him to be sent off to the market. With Charlotte's help Wilbur becomes a famous pig and his life is spared.
I read the book and then viewed the movie. I enjoyed both very much. There is very little difference between the two. There have been many cartoons and movies based on the book. I viewed the one from 2006 that was directed by Gary Winick. The animals were very realistic in this movie. I really cannot choose between the book or movie. They both hold so much charm and I enjoyed both.
While viewing the movie and reading the book I was reminded of my own childhood. Charlotte's Web was a favorite of mine then and I remember watching the cartoon version over and over. This is a movie that I intend on adding to my collection at home as I know my children will love it as much as I do.
The book is also a favorite of mine.
