eorI finished rereading "Charlotte's Web" on Wednesday, I think. It was a bit of a shock to go from Roald Dahl to E. B. White. They both have a distinct place in children's literature, a distinctly different place.
I loved this book as a child. Rereading it as an adult I can see it's best suited to children who haven't reached the eye roll age. If a child rolls their eyes or sighs exasperatedly at anything the presentation of the morality bits of this book will probably elicit scorn. It covers some pretty big concepts for the pre-eye roll audience, but does it in a way they should be able to digest.
