Book review - Charlotte's Web

By -



Name of the book: Charlotte's Web
Author: E. B. White
Genre: Children's literature
Published by: Penguin Random House UK (Puffin Books)
No. Of Pages: 186
After reading to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, reading another animal-centric, kid’s book was super exciting!

Charlotte’s Web is a story based in an animal farm where there’s a variety – geese, rat, horses, sheep, a pig (Wilbur) and then there’s the protagonist – Charlotte – the spider!

The story is fun to read with the illustrations on most of the pages and a perfect quick read from the usual books; it’s refreshing and creative.

Although, the book is banned in a few states, due to the fact that the animals’ talk among themselves and also to a human kid – Fern, it is considered to be as inappropriate, I found the plot of the story exact opposite; artistic and simple.

The story has a simple teaching, friendship! It is very well depicted between Fern and Wilbur, and between Wilbur and Charlotte.

It is a classic and a must read, regardless of the age group you belong to, or a nice gift to kids! It will not only inculcate reading in them at a very young age, but also keep them a little away from the smartphones and making them a little interactive by habituating to discuss their reads.

I loved how the story ended on a note where your heart sinks but still have a smile on the face. It is very well written and in simple English that makes an instant connect.

 A must read irrelevant of the age group you belong to. It has beautiful illustrations as well which makes if even though more fun to read!

“ Y ou are so fat!”, said someone. “You need to join a gym and lose that weight!”, said another. “You are fat and ugly and disgusting!”, exclaimed someone. When someone says that being fat is ugly or disgusting, they really need to understand than fatness is not ugly, period. I as a kid always loved eating cake and biscuits, but I was active in sports and cultural activities too. When puberty hit me, I started gaining weight and the only sports the teachers at my school would ask me to participate were “tug-of-war” or “kabaddi”. The people at my school would make fun of me, would call me “fatty” and would never talk to me. By the time I was 15; I had lost most of the “so-called” friends and had lost all hope of having any left in the near future. I had lost all my self confidence by then! When I had to leave my town for studying grad, I was scared to go because even there people won’t talk to me or would bully me! But the truth turned out to be differe...
