I’m on a farm, living with all the animals and other creatures. They all have wonderful, classic names that I’m sure you will recognize. Of course, they can all talk and, when the life of one of them is threatened, they try to do what they can to help save him. One of the creatures goes to special lengths to save the pig.

Here are a few sentences from the same book. I doubt there will be many of you who don’t know the title of this book.
“But as he had neglected to fasten the other end to anything, it didn’t really do any good, and Wilbur landed with a thud, crushed and hurt. Tears came to his eyes. Templeton grinned. Charlotte just sat quietly.”
Most of you may remember this from the movie by the same name. If you guessed Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White, you are right.

Oh….Charlotte’s Web! I need to go back and read some of my childhood classics again. Thanks for the reminder – and the trip down memory lane
Of course I knew the title! It’s a wonderful book and I hope you are enjoying your re-read.
From the first paragraph I was thinking Animal Farm…But then I remembered the girls were reading Charlotte’s Web. lol I didnt think you would be enjoying Animal farm this much.
Ah, you’re reading this for the “Childhood Favourites” aren’t you?! I loved the movie but never did read the book. Thanks for the teaser — my daughter would love this book!
Charlotte’s Web is a wonderful book! Never read it as a child, but I loved it when I read it as an adult. E.B. White was such an inventive writer. Good teasers!
Hi Margot,
I love your website. In the right margin there is a book that catches my eye. The author is Katherine Howe. The problem is I can’t read the title. Would you mail me the title? Thanks.
Awww Poor Wilbur! Talk about a memory. Wow! Is there a childhood favorites challenge? Thanks for stopping by today for a visit.
Hi Margot,
It’s been ages since I read Charolett’s Web. I’ll have to re-read that one! Have a great day!!
Sherrie
Yes, I am reading this book for the Childhood Favourite Reading Challenge. You can find that challenge here< \a>. It does close on June 21.
I guessed the title too! Ahhhhhh I love Charlotte’s Web! Great Where Are You, and I love the teaser!
I have the movie on my DVR, but I really want to read the book again before I watch it!
What a great book and movie.
Awww – Wilbur was such a sweetie. I was partial to Templeton too though – I had a little stuffed mouse/rat looking toy when I was little that I named Templeton in his honor.
Oh – I loved that book!! Your teaser made me smile.
