The book I have chosen is a book I first read when I was around 10 years old and it has been one of my favourite books ever since. It is called Charlotte's Web and is written by E. B. White. The story is based around a young girl(Fern) who begs her father if she can keep a pig called Wilbur as a pet. However, after a month or so Wilbur is sold to Fern's uncle who plans to slaughter the pig so he can sell the meat. During Wilbur's time with Fern, while he is growing up, he becomes friends with a barn spider(Charlotte) and they become best friends. As the day arrives that Wilbur is due to be sold Charlotte weaves messages for Fern and her father to see using her Web pleading with them not to sell Wilbur. These messages also make Wilbur very famous and he is seen as a local hero, which was Charlotte's plan all along to protect Wilbur as they would not kill a celebrity pig. The plan works and Wilbur is saved. 

Sadly Charlotte dies at the end of the book, but she has laid eggs and so Wilbur's memory of Charlotte lives on through her children who Wilbur also becomes great friends with. 

The reason I have chosen this book for you all, firstly is because I enjoy it, but also because I think their is a very important message written in this book. Treat others how you would wish to be treated, always be kind and treasure your friends and family because they will always be there when you need them. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I still do!
