Charlotte‘s Web made me think about how friendships can come from the most unexpected places and how love sometimes means letting go.

It‘s both heartwarming and heartbreaking, with enduring lessons for all ages.

The value of kindness and friendship is the most important lesson to be learned from Charlotte's Web. Even in trying circumstances, true friends—like Charlotte—will go above and beyond to support and assist one another. Teaching pupils this lesson is an excellent idea.

At the bottom left is the book I've had the longest, but it's not inscribed and also only special to me because I've had it since I was 5. But Charlotte's Web was given by my favorite great-aunt and uncle -- maybe when I was 8? -- and is much loved. I

I thought I hadn‘t read this before, but I show it marked as read but with no date on GR.

Overall, I enjoyed this. There was a moment where I though Wilbur demanded too much of Charlotte. Lay off, pig, she is already saving your life. I really enjoyed the other animals on the farm, especially the geese and even Templeton, who is a bit of a jerk.

My third time reading through this one, first with my kiddo. Written for its time, I did a fair share of helping him understand words no longer used but I think it helped keep him engaged a bit longer with each read-aloud session because he was listening for words he didn't automatically know.

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to visit a few different states in Australia, and this was posted at the front desk of our hotel in the Blue Mountains. Points for trying, but let's be honest, if I get bit by something I won't have the wherewithal to identify what kind of creature it is let alone its sub-species.

E.B. White's “Charlotte's Web“ is all about friendship and helping others. In the classroom, it's a great way to talk about kindness, empathy, and the circle of life. You can also discuss how the author creates characters and hidden meanings in the story.

I enjoyed revisiting this childhood classic this month. Charlotte's Web was never my favorite growing up, and I still don't love it, but it's a decent read and I can see why so many people are fond of it. For me, growing up in a farming community, even as a kid it was hard for me to get past the sentimentalizing of raising animals for slaughter, which I realize isn't actually the purpose of the book, ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but I still don't like teaching kids that animals spend their lives in terror, knowing that death lurks around the corner, when they simply don't haha So this book gets an A+ for themes of friendship and loyalty, but a D- on accurate representation of farming practices 😂

Thanks so much for hosting this buddy read @megnews !!
