“Some Pig”

December 25, 2006 · Leave a Comment

 Charlotte’s Web, the 1952 classic by E.B. White with timeless illustrations by Garth Williams, is the best-selling children’s paperback of all time. To date, the book has sold 45 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 23 languages.

 This classic story centers on an unusual friendship between a shy, yet joyous pig named Wilbur and a caring spider named Charlotte. The runt of his litter, Wilbur is adopted by 8-year-old Fern, under whose care he flourishes, growing big, strong, and healthy. Unfortunately, Wilbur’s progress means that he faces what seems like an unavoidable trip to the smokehouse. Determined to save her friend and barnmate, Charlotte comes up with a daring plan.

On the morning of Wilbur’s planned trip to the slaughterhouse, the farmer enters the pigpen to see Wilbur standing beneath the mysterious words, “Some Pig!” woven into Charlotte’s web. Convinced this is a miracle and that Wilber is indeed an extraordinary animal, the farmer decides that Wilbur is too valuable to make into ham and pork chops. When Wilbur has his chance, he finds a loving way to return Charlotte’s kindness.

A tale of friendship and renewal featuring a motley crew of barnyard characters, Charlotte’s Web is a tribute to everyday miracles. Charlotte’s Web was one of my literature book during my schooling time ha… would love to watch this movie again!
