Tiger Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I read Charlotte's Web on holiday... and loved it! My fave character was Avery because he was quite funny! I was relieved when Wilbur didn't become a slice of bacon or a pork chop! I understand that this book is a classic. Does anyone remember reading it?

Kell Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I read it years & years ago & it's one I've always meant to revisit. Have you ever seen the film, Tiger? It always makes me cry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Oh Kell! I didn't know it was a film! I bet it's good, but I don't like films that make me cry that much! :oops: I'll watch out for this one then!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanna Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Oh I love this book, looking forward to rereading it one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yup, it was made into an animated film back in 1973. you can see a bit about it here: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0070016/ There's a live action remake in production right now too: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0413895/ It'll be out at Xmas. Guess what I'll be going to see! Charlotte is the only spider who diesn't make me shudder at the very thought of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yes, I agree... she's not a spider that makes me scream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Charlotte's Web was a book I studied in English many many years ago. I can vaguely remember it, I definitely remember it being great. As a reward for end of term finishing, we also watched the film. I think I may have to reread this one to jog my memory, it's not what it used to be!

Angel Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I can vaguely remember reading it when I was about 9, and can only remember a couple of things about it. Perhaps I will have to pinch your copy sometime Tiger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louiseog Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I loved Charlotte's Web, read it to my son though and had to stop because it made me cry! We have baby spiders in the garden at the moment and I call them Charlies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm sure Beth has it upstairs.. I might give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I understand that this book is a classic. Does anyone remember reading it? I read it about 30 years ago and remember enjoying it a great deal. I might buy it for my daughter to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecream Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I cannot remember if I ever heard this book or not (I say heard because I may have heard it in school but not sure).. Sounds like an good children's book to get my hands on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 We had to read this at primary school, I must have read it 3 times as a child, and watched the film at least that too. It never failed to make me cry. A bit out of fashion now, I think, but a wonderful book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anika Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The only book I ever had read to me (at school), and if we didn't behave the teacher threatened not to have story-time that day!! We all loved the book so much, and would wail when she had to stop; begging for just one more page.... E. B. White is one of my all-time favorite writers! He also wrote "Stuart Little" (made into a movie with Michael J. Fox doing Stuart's voice) and countless essays for The New Yorker magazine. His writing style is very succinct, and humorous.

funrun Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 We did a play at school and then years late I watched it on T.v and then I got to high school I read it I loved it:tong: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I saw the film and haven't read the book but I think it would be enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I read Charlotte's Web when I was pretty young. I remember loving it, but my favorite by E.B. White was The Trumpet of the Swan. I would suggest to anyone who loves endearing children stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
