Book Overview

Series Editor: Robert Lecker, McGill University.Written in an easy-to-read, accessible style by teachers with years of classroom experience, MASTERWORK STUDIES are guides to the literary works most frequently studied in high school. Presenting ideas that spark imaginations, these books help students to gain background knowledge on great literature useful for papers and exams.

Customer Reviews

I liked it better than the child I was reading it to.

The child that I read it to was only 3 years old, and of corse this was after he had watched a verion of it on video cassette. As I read it, he wanted to see pictures of charlotte, Templeton, and Wilbur, he wanted to see what they were doing. There is a couple of pictures in the book I have, but not anything a 3 year old would be interested in. Charlotte's Web is writen for older children, but you'd be surprized at the ages who would love it just as much if not more. I have no doubt that if there was a book published on a 3 year olds level, they would love reading it. Charlotte, Templeton and Wilbur are my 3 year olds nephew's best friends, and when ever he sees a Spider, Rat or Pig they are Charlotte, Templeton or Wilbur.
