Reviews

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a shorten version of the very popular children's chapter book Charlotte's Web. It's the perfect way of introducing this charming story to small children that the larger book won't hold their attention. This book has pictures from the human version of the movie Charlotte's Web. So even if the child can't read it or can't wait for someone to read it to them the pictures will tell the story to them itself. They will be grinning and enjoying the story through it.

3.5 stars

This book is a very short summary of the Charlotte's Web movie, written for a very young audience. It was a good summarized book but I think it would have been better to create a longer book. The story is told from Templeton's perspective. There isn't much emotion because it's so short.
