ABBIE on Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White.

This is a story about a girl called Fern who lives on a farm with her mum, dad and brother. One morning at breakfast Fern stares after her father and asks her mum “where’s papa going with that axe?” “To the hog house because a few pigs were born last night”, “but why does he need an axe?” asked Fern for she was only eight. “One of the pigs that were born last night is a runt that means that it is small, weak and useless and it won’t last for a day. So your father has decided to away with it,” “away with it? You mean kill it?” her mum nodded, “but you can’t” Fern pleaded and before anyone could say anything she was off. They can’t do that Fern thought. She arrived at the hog house panting and yelled “NO” her father looked up and Fern saw the pig, the pig that started the whole thing.

In the pig pen Wilbur finds a spider friend called Charlotte, and meets a sneaky rat called Templeton who steals everything from rotten eggs to a thin thread of string. Everyone thinks that Wilbur is just an ordinary pig but his best friend Charlotte makes Wilbur the most famous pig ever by spinning webs saying “SOME PIG” then the next “TERIFFIC” the last “RADIANT” everyone came to look at the pig from the other side of the farm people could hear the “OOOOOHHHH’s” and “AAAAHHHHH’s” everyone thought Wilbur was a star and he was. Then Wilbur’s owners decide to bring Wilbur to a pig fair where all of the pigs that are talented in some way go to and that is where the judges see which pig is the best.

I found the book very easy to read because there were no difficult words or complicated sentences. I actually cried when charlotte the spider died at the fair all by herself. And laughed at some bits like when Avery tripped and fell on the rotten egg, I wouldn’t like to smell that!! The most joyful moment in that book would be when charlottes egg sack hatches and all the spiders parachute into the sky. The illustrations are gorgeus and the book it self is really neat. Overall I think that this book is very touching and beautiful. I recommend that everyone should read it from the beginning to the end.
