Inver Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 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. Quote
Kell Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I loved this book & also the animated film. There's a live-action film been made too - I believe Dakota Fanning is in it... Quote
Janet Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 This was one of my favourite childhood books - and I loved the pretty cover of it too! This was the cover mine had! Quote
madcow Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I also loved this book and the film, cried buckets....lol Quote
Katie Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 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! Quote

Sugar Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 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! Quote
Katie Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 It's the only time i've ever cried for a spider! And you're welcome. 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. Quote
Laramie Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 i love this book!! ive never cried though... Quote
Katie Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ....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.... Quote
Laramie Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 i cried in dr who, doomsday at the beach scene and the bit when the void is closed between them Quote
Weave Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I loved it, absolutely adored it, it was sweet, funny and very sad... Quote
mrstrecool Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 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. Quote
lopeanha Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 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!! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 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. Quote
Loopyloo100 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 This was one of my favourites in childhood - I've no ideas how many times I read it along with Black Beauty. Quote
