Review by Emily, 10 years old

Have you seen the movie Charlotte’s web? Well it is similar to the book.  This book is about this little pig getting born and not having enough milk and the pig is weak so then Mr. Arable took an ax and was about to kill him and Fern his daughter said don’t kill him then Mr. Arable decided to give the pig to his daughter Fern. So she took care of him and then she named the pig Charlotte. When Charlotte got older Fern had to build a house for Charlotte. Mr. Arable said to Fern we have to get rid of the pig and all of a sudden Fern started to cry because she did not what to lose Charlotte. Well I do not want to ruin the story so I am going to stop so you can read the book. I hope you like it.

Review by Taylor, 10 years old

I think you should read this book because it uses a lot of detail and uses descriptive words like metaphors or similes like as fat as a pig .There is a pig named Wilbur and he lived with a girl named Fern and she thought her dad was going to kill the baby pig and he wasn’t and the mom and dad got tired of having the baby pig and so they gave it to ferns Uncle Zuckerman and so fern went and saw the baby every day. Now I am going to let    you read the rest of the book. And tell me how you like this book.
