You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.
E.B. White (Charlotte to Wilbur)

One of the blogs about children’s literature that I check often is Educating Alice by Monica Edinger, a teacher at The Dalton School in New York City. Her post on January 3, 2013 features a video where she was part of a group discussing the merits of the book, Charlotte’s Web.

The book is still as interesting to readers as it was over 60 years ago, when it was first published. How lucky we are that E.B. White wrote this gem. Do yourself a favor and read it aloud with a child.
