This time I choose a children's book that is named Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's Web is a children's book by acclaimed American author E. B. White. First published in 1952, it tells the story of a barn spider named Charlotte and her friendship with a pig named Wilbur. The book was illustrated by Garth Williams. To get to know what kind of books foreign children will read in their daily lives, I choose this book, which is recommended by my classmate.
Charlotte's Web is an animal fable that deals with several important aspects of a happy life: friendship, heroism, constancy, and death. Wilbur is hyperactive and always exploring new things. This book begins when John Arable's sow gives birth to a litter of piglets, and Mr. Arable discovers one of them is a runt and decides to kill it. However, his 8 year old daughter Fern begs him to let it live. Therefore her father gives it to Fern as a pet, and she names the runt Wilbur. It's a pity that I didn't finish it yet due to the continuous holidays, but I will finish the last part because it's interesting!
