One I had never read but found it quick and easy. A nice story of true friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider who comes to help Wilbur in his time of need.:D

I loved this book & also the animated film. There's a live-action film been made too - I believe Dakota Fanning is in it...

This was one of my favourite childhood books - and I loved the pretty cover of it too!

This was the cover mine had! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E-B-WHITE-Charlottes-Web_W0QQitemZ330042578089QQihZ014QQcategoryZ1095QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosti ng)

I read it once before. I remember I liked it. :) I was much younger then, though, so I don't remember it too well.

I wached the animated film too, Kell! It was so sad when Charlotte died. :( *sniff* Oh, and by the way, thank-you for the welcome message. ;) It was very nice!

Charlotte's Web must make almost everyone cry - we had it read to us at school, and I think most of the class were sobbing by the end (boys as well as girls!)!

I had to reread the book at home to see what I missed and must have read it 5 or 6 times, crying every time. I also cried at the film!

I know...they're really such dreadful little creatures, aren't they? ;)

Oh and by the way, this may sound ridiculous but where can I enable my signature? I looked in my Control Panel, but can't seem to find the place. :(

....ive never cried though...

Well I don't really cry over TV programs, either. I don't cry over Charlotte's Web, though I may have when I was younger. I can usually control my tears while watching something, unless it's the most terribly sad, sweet movie....then you'll see a tear or two roll down from glistening eyes....;)

I've never read this book, but it was one of my favourite films growing up. It made me cry buckets!! I'm going to hunt out the book now.

I rembember that I loved the animated movie when I was a kid. My sister and I even called her save pig (a pig made of porcelaine to put money in, to save) Wilbur.
I never know there was a book... Goes straight to my wishlist!!

We read it as a class when I was about 10. My teacher used to do brilliant accents but I hate spiders so cannot watch a film version - even if the spider is nice.

This was one of my favourites in childhood - I've no ideas how many times I read it along with Black Beauty.
