Book review on Charlotte's Web

Title: Charlotte's Web
Author: E.B White

This book is practically about a pig, named Wilbur. However, the title of this story is Charlotte's Web, Charlotte who is a spider. This is because most parts of the story is talking about how Charlotte is able to help Wilbur in his life with Fern and her family.

At first, Fern's father wanted to kill Wilbur and end his life, however, with the help of Charlotte, who came up with an incredible plan, she helped Wilbur escape death. Slowly, when time goes past, Charlotte felt Wilbur's need for a friend and showed her dedication to him and saved his life repeatedly.

As Charlotte was much more wiser than Wilbur, she cared for him like she was showing him maternal love. She would tell Wilbur bedtime stories and sing lullabies to him, teach him a lot of manners and even tell him to chew his food properly, also, she encourages him when he feels down, she supports him and build up his confidence. Without this love showed by Charlotte, Wilbur must definitely stand on his own feet.

Charlotte always gives repeated thought on how she will fulfill her promise she made to Wilbur. With her wise guidance, Charlotte always give Wilbur as much as he could understand and never give more than that. Whenever he meets situations that he must make his own decisions, Charlotte would try her best to guide him to the point.

Lastly, at the end of the story, Charlotte was unfortunately aged, and she could hardly moved after giving birth to an egg sack containing 514 eggs in it. She told Wilbur that they are strong and waterproof, and they would be born in the next spring. When Wilbur knew that Charlotte was unable to go back to the barn, he became extremely sad as he had lost his friendship with Charlotte, who took extreme care for him. And when Charlotte's babies came to the barn during spring, Charlotte was overjoyed, feeling that he could took care of them to repay Charlotte, however, the babies 'flew' away and made Wilbur extremely heartbroken.

From this story, I admire Charlotte as she showed loyalty and friendship towards her friend, Wilbur. I feel that this story is very suitable for young children as the easy reading and the animals will captivate them. Also I think that this book is extremely good for first time readers.
