Spinning the Story with Wilbur and Charlotte

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.

Harper Collins, c1952.  184 pages.  RL 4.4.

Yesterday, we learned that a mysterious card found in a copy of Charlotte’s Web sends Biblio Twins Tom and Becky on a summer-long adventure in The Dewey Deception. Today, we find fifth grade Language Arts teacher Mrs. Keating relaxing in a favorite chair, starting her summer reading with the 1953 Newbery Honors book and Reading Road Trip classic.  

Charlotte's Web spins the unforgettable story of Wilbur, a lovable barnyard pig who is sad and worried when he discovers that he is destined to be the farmer's Christmas dinner-- until his intelligent and true spider friend Charlotte decides to help him. Let's explore Charlotte's Web.  We can create and print our own comic strips to share with family and friends.  Later, we'll become tangled up in a challenging Pick-the-Perfect-Word game featuring our favorite Charlotte's Web characters.  Just click on the red-highlighted words to get started!
