New in the Barn

by Catherine Hapka, E.B. White

When Wilbur arrives on Zuckerman’s farm he is terrified. The barn is a big, frightening place and everyone seems so unfriendly. But the animals can’t help but like the new piglet. After all, a barn can have a horse in it, or a cow in it, but if it hasn’t got a pig in it…it’s empty.

Checked out from Kilbourn Public Library 📚

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has illustrations-photographs from the real life people movie by the same name. So if children are familiar with the movie they would feel at home with the book. This is the beginning and it doesn't tell the entire story. It only tells about Wilber's birth and how Fern took care of him and how he ended up on the farm. So don't think it's the entire story. Was still a nice little book.

This book a shortened version of the chapter book. I didn't like it as much as I did the chapter book, but this book would be ideal for children who wouldn't be able to read a chapter book yet. This book was off the recent movie adaptation with Dakota Fanning.

This is another classic book for children. This book is a cut version of the chapter book. So I would read this book to younger student. I would recommend the chapter book for advanced or older readers. I enjoyed charlottes web as a child and an adult.. This story is great for new friendship.

Danny selected this one for a reward at school. It took him a long time to get around to reading it. It is very light on action, covering only a small portion of the original story.
