Charlotte's Web - E B White

One Sentence Summary:
a spider who writes words in her web promotes an amazing pig.

Review:
This is one of the books I read and re-read over and over, at least fifty times. A great farm story about the love of one little girl for the pig she raised. The animal characters are all really well written, showing compassion and wit while still retaining their animal characteristics. The writing is perfect for young readers using a vocabulary they recognize and a story that draws them in. I highly recommend that everyone who hasn't read this read it, preferably to a child. Be warned though you will cry at least once, probably more.

10/10
