Charlotte's Web is a children's chapter book written by E.B. White. This story is a classic and timeless. It teaches children about nature, death, and the joy of life. Perhaps its greatest message is that of friendship.

While I was re-reading this book I was mentioning parts to my children. They are all teenagers now, yet they easily knew what part of the book I was talking about. We then spent the entire car ride home talking about Charlotte's Web. Considering two of my children are not readers, this was a testament to the ability of Charlotte's Web to capture the reader.
