E.B White, Charlotte's Web, Garth Williams, USA, Harper Collins, 1952. 192 pp. Children’s story, Grades 3-5.
Wilbur is a runt of a pig born on a farm in the mid 1900’s whose owner sells to the Zuckerman’s farm where he is forced to adapt to farm life amongst other animals. The use of dialogue between animals at the farm and Wilbur brings to life a child’s perspective on a real life dramatic struggle in learning about life, loss and opportunity.
