Title: Sweet, thoughtful children's book about friendship and growing up
Review: I just, as an adult, read this lovely story, initially about a little girl who saves a runt piglet, but ultimately about the saving power of long-term friendship. Wilbur (the pig) meets a kind spider (Charlotte) who endeavors to save him from the fate of most farm pigs. We see Wilbur grow up and deal with fear, loneliness, and even the passing of a friend, all with the soft, easy prose of E.B. White (who, after all, wrote THE BOOK on writing - Strunk & White's Elements of Style). I look forward to reading this to my children.
