Book vs. Movie: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White





I absolutely love this book! Charlotte's Web is a timeless classic and a favorite of many because it includes wonderful characters, humor, and an interesting storyline. My favorite thing about this book is all of the different personalitites shown by the animals. The author did a great job of portraying the animals as if they had human qualities. Each animal acts and talks just like I would imaging them doing so. Charlotte's Web has been released several times as cartoons and movies. However, the most recent release was in 2006 was a real life movie. The movie closely follows the book and does captures all the joy that the book has. The actors in the film do an excellent job of portraying the characters and animal voices. I love Julia Roberts voice for Charlotte. I think that anyone who has read and loved the book Charlotte's Web will love the movie as well. The book and movie have several lessons embedded in them about the importance and meaning of friendship. This book is truly a classic!

Other books by E.B.White include:
