    Children's Literature - Jody Little
    After 60 years, the story of Fern, her pig, Wilber, the wise spider, Charlotte, and all their barn friends still resonates clearly with the message of wonderment and friendship. It could be argued that White's story is even more important today than it was upon first publication. This novel is more than a story of a little pig that desperately wants a friend, and then finds one in a spider, who shares her love by weaving messages in her web. The novel is a celebration of the outdoor world. White masterfully expresses his joy of the outdoors in his descriptions of bird songs, nature's food, the sounds and smells of a barn, and the thrill of a rope swing. This 60th Anniversary Edition keeps the look of the original, complete with Garth Williams' detailed illustrations. It also includes a new forward by Newberry-winning author, Kate DiCamillo, in which DiCamillo confesses that she did not read the novel until she was an adult for fear that things would not turn out well. The miracle of the book, she writes, is that "we bear this unbearable thing. And in the end, we even rejoice." Reviewer: Jody Little
