This is a classic tale of friendship between several different characters. Fern, the little girl and Wilbur, the pig and also later in the book Wilbur's close relationship and bond with Charlotte, the spider. There are many other characters that play a secondary role in this story and exhibit character traits of friendship.
We read this book with our class recently in practicum as a teacher read aloud. Then we took a field trip to the Birmingham Children's Theatre to view the play, Charlotte's Web. I feel like this was a great way to introduce the students to a great piece of literature and expose them to a dramatic version of the story also.
