Charlotte's Web By E.B. White Illustrated by Garth Williams Main characters: Charlotte, Wilbur, Fern

Main settings: A farm throughout a few seasons & the county fair towards the end of summer

Plot: This story is about a girl, Fern, who saves a runt pig from being slaughtered. This pig becomes her pet and best friend. She spends every free moment with her pig, Wilbur. Her father is determined to fatten Wilbur up and then make him into bacon. Wilbur meets Charlotte, a very special spider, who tries to make Wilbur look like a very special pig. She has a talent for writing words in the webs she weaves, to describe Wilbur. She uses words such as magnificent and terrific. Fern decides to take Wilbur to the county fair. You'll have to read the story to learn what happens to Wilbur and Charlotte.

Evaluation: I really liked this book. I would recommend it to people who like animal stories and fantasy stories. This could never really happen, but it is fun to think what would happen if animals could talk and spiders could spin words in webs.
