This book is a classic. I totally fell in love with this book as a kid. Amazon writes, "Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when he was born the runt of his litter.
E. B. White's Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. It contains illustrations by Garth Williams, the acclaimed illustrator of E.B. White's Stuart Little and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among many other books.". All in all, I say: READ IT
The animated movie version that came in in the 70s is just as much a classic as the book is. Reynolds (Singing in the Rain), Lynde (Bewitched), Gibson (The Burbs), Bonaduce (Partridge Family), and Allen (Frontier Doctor) all star - well their voices do. All in all, I say: SEE IT after you read the book.
Live action and live action pigs became all the rage after Babe, so Web was remade into live action. The soundtrack was a weepy one. Georgia native Fanning (War of the World), Georgia native Roberts (Pretty Woman), Cleese (Monty Python), Buscemi (Fargo), Wnfrey (Color Purple), Bates (Misery), Redford (Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid), McEntire (Tremors), and Church (Wings) all star - well their voices and some live. All in all, I say: SEE IT after the original.
