Classic children's story about friendship and loss
I shed so many tears reading this as a kid. It's a great book for children exploring loss, and unlikely friendship. Even though I hate spiders, Charlotte is wonderful, attempting to aid her friend Wilbur the pig from being slaughtered. A heartwarming, bittersweet tale.

This book is amazing. It's a powerful allegory about childhood and mourning its loss, but a loss that we ultimately all survive. Beautifully written, vivid, at times sinister, profoundly sad but incredibly touching. This is a book that will stay with you for a long time after the last page is turned.
