One of the best novels in all of Children's LiteratureReview created: 10/03/06

This was one of the first books I ever cried over as a young child! It is a very touching tale centering around a little girl's pig Wilbur, and the new friends he meets in the barn after he is sent to live on her Uncle's Farm- most notably Templeton the Rat, and the very clever spider, Charlotte.
After reading this book, I never looked at spiders quite the same again! She and Wilbur form a very special bond and they each make selfless sacrifices for the other, purely out of love. She saves his life by weaving special messages into her web, and in the end he saves her babies from certain death by rescuing her egg sac.
The beautiful black and white illustrations by Garth Williams (who also illustrated the Little House Series) are a delight. This is certainly one of the best novels in all Children's Literature.
