Customer Review: The book is great, I mean it's a classic but this version looks like it came right off the photo copier of the original print for 100 years ago. It's horribly fussy and the copy spacing is poor. I suggest finding a version by a different publisher.
Customer Review: The Maira Kalman illustrations are a delightful addition to the fine writing advice of William Strunk and E.B. White. Will the playful paintings aid in your pursuit of writing greatness obtained from reading these pages? YES! Strunk and White teach us how to write well and thoughtfully.... more info
Customer Review: **SPOILERS** Well. I liked all but the ending. It's written in a way that it's interesting, although the details are really annoying, but the dialogue is all very child-friendly and realistic [even though it's animals talking XD]
Charlotte should not have died. That was a horrible... more info
Customer Review: This story is told by the author, E. B. White. His reading is simple, but very enjoyable. With little embellishment, he captures your attention and holds it. This book was the favorite audiobook my three children (9yr, 7yr and 4yr) listened to this summer. They keep listening to it!
Customer Review: As an adult I normally loathe stories with talking animals, animals who reason, etc. I'm also not that fond of mice! But "Stuart Little" is done in an engaging way, and it's far better than the live-action movie of the same name. The story is a little more serious and less action-oriented, and the... more info
Customer Review: I live on a small rural island in the Pacific Northwest, home to fewer than a thousand people in the winter, so I have a deep understanding of what E. B. White means when he writes: "Feeling ran so high that some people stopped speaking to each other--which is a form of discourse." Lately, I... more info
Customer Review: George's Pond: Created in the Beloved Tradition of Charlotte's Web
West's Time Machine Being a children's writer and educator, I often enjoy reading Charlotte's Web as a child and now I enjoy reading the book to my son and my students. I believe part of the reason this book has remained... more info
Customer Review: The reviews I read said that White gives the reader a feel for life in New York. Nonsense - the book is vague to the point where it could have been titled, Here is London, or Here is Shanghai. If you want to get a feel for New York, or at least the Bronx where I grew up, read "World Fair" by... more info
Customer Review: these books are a delight to read. i first read them to our sons (the oldest is now 40). this set is for my grandson. charming, well written stories, all with an underlying moral.
Customer Review: Charlotte's Web is a true classic in every sense of the word. Written by a true master, E.B. White, this book tells the tale of a young pig named Wilbur who befriends a spider named Charlotte and their many adventures together. It's a story that children will love due to its timeless, but engaging... more info
Customer Review: E. B. White's essays are sweet and courageous. It's a rare and wonderful combination. They are also, to use that severely abused word, poignant, which means, painfully affecting the feelings. Consider the opening line to the essay, World War I: "I keep forgetting that soldiers are so young." He... more info
Customer Review: This is a great value and a charming edition of a classic. The "charm" is really a necklace of a boat -- just like the boat that Stuart Little navigated. Children will love the many adventures of Stuart. The necklace is an added bonus that the girls will love.
Customer Review: If this is the Great & Powerful E.B. White I think I'll pass. It's a collection of vignettes about everything and nothing. Ladles of words dipped from his stream of consciousness. I was bored.
Customer Review: I felt really sad seeing this book was among the bargain books in Borders Bookstore the other day. This is a great book, talking about almost everything on Charlotte's Web, and a lot about E.B. White the author. The main part is the chindren's famous fiction, Charlotte's Web. The layout of the... more info
Customer Review: This hardback edition is a fantastic value; grab this over the paperback edition. My four year-old daughter loved it. It was her first "real" chapter book. We'd read a series or two of the Rainbow Fairies and a Disney collection of princess stories, but this (along with Wind and the Willows, also... more info
Customer Review: This wonderful collection of letters by the gentle and wise Mr. White will be of keen interest to all that enjoy fine writing. All the better if one has an interest in The New Yorker magazine, the children's book Charlotte's Web, English grammar, boating, farming in Maine, or just the everyday... more info
Customer Review: This book is great.At first when I began reading it I thought it was strange that the author E.B. White had characters that were animals that could talk .Although it is not true that animals can talk, after I began reading the book more and concentrated hard I caught the excitement the characters... more info
Customer Review: 09/09/2008
No Literary worth whatsoever!
Advertising Hype:
E.B. White's offspring work
to live off Dad's work:
C'est vrai: Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose!
Customer Review: E.B. White's tender classic remains a favorite for those of us who grew up in the fifties-for friendship and self-sacrifice are timeless virtues. Eight-year-old Fern Arable begs her father to spare the life of the runt of a litter of pigs, whom she lovingly names Wilbur and treats as a baby. Finally... more info
Customer Review: Like a good box of chocolates, this book is best consumed one piece at a time, slowly, with time to ponder, cry, and hug your dogs between portions. In Daniel Pinkwater's perfectly crafted essay, the reader can actually feel the writer's love for his big old fur-friend. I'm crying just thinking... more info
Customer Review: There's no need to actually read this book if you're a male. Simply carry it around, and you will find yourself approached by a wide variety of women who are amused and perhaps a bit threatened by the title. Many of them will be interested in showing you the positive response to the... more info
Customer Review: There is a forward by E.B. White describing his editor, wife Katharine White. Katharine White was traditional by nature. She liked the flowers of her childhood. A neighboring estate near her house in Brookline, Massachusetts was owned by a prominent botanist named Sargent who founded the Arboretum... more info
