I have a deep affection for this three classic tale book. It holds a special place in my heart as it encompasses all the classic stories that accompanied my growth.

The moment I pick up this book, I am filled with a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The way it makes me feel while reading is truly indescribable.

This book is an excellent resource for teachers to utilize in the classroom. They have the flexibility to select a different story at any given time and then enhance the learning experience by showing a related movie.

I firmly believe that it is crucial for children to be exposed to and aware of the stories that my generation cherished.

Another aspect that I appreciate about this book is the simplicity of its illustrations. The sketches add a touch of authenticity to both the book and the stories within.

As time has passed, children's expectations regarding illustrations in books have significantly increased. However, this book manages to stand out with its genuine charm.

I love this book because it serves as a beautiful reminder of my childhood and its authenticity is truly something to be valued.

Undoubtedly, this is a book that I would wholeheartedly use in my classroom to read to my students. We could make it our "community book" and read small snippets at the end of each day before the students head home.

I thoroughly enjoy this book and all that it represents.

I really like this book a great deal. Fern's heart is extremely kind. If I were Fern, perhaps I would just be unconcerned. However, Fern saved one being. I truly like the character's heart. Also, it was a wonderful idea that Charlotte the spider made some words out of the web. That makes the reader feel entertained and amazed. Moreover, the farm animals' troubles were quite significant. Wilbur's escaping added more excitement to the story. It shows how the author was able to create a vivid and engaging world with these characters and their adventures. The way the story unfolds keeps the reader hooked from beginning to end.

It makes me think about how important kindness and friendship are in our lives. Just like Fern and Wilbur's friendship, it can overcome many difficulties. And Charlotte's actions also teach us that we can make a difference in someone else's life with our creativity and efforts. Overall, this book is a great read that I would highly recommend to others.

I had this little set when I was a child. My Poppa got it for me. It consisted of three books: Charlotte's Web, The Trumpet of the Swan, and Stuart Little. I had a great passion for reading Charlotte's Web, and it was the book I read the most. The second favorite had to be Stuart Little. However, I didn't really get into The Trumpet of the Swan until I was a little bit older.


I have to admit that it was the best gift my Poppa ever gave me. I can't recall whether it was a Christmas or a birthday gift. All I remember is receiving it. And how I adored that little slip cover that held those three books together as a set. It is truly one of the best memories I have from my childhood.

I will not lie. I never knew these movies were based on books.

One day, I saw them in the trunk of my mother's car and immediately begged her to let me read them.

I really enjoyed "Charlotte's Web" and "The Trumpet of the Swan". The stories were full of charm and warmth.

However, "Stuart Little" was a bit weird to me. I didn't like the ending at all. It just didn't feel right to me.

But overall, these were cute stories that brought me a lot of joy and imagination. They introduced me to different worlds and characters that I would never have known otherwise.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to read these books and experience the magic they held. It was a wonderful discovery that has stayed with me ever since.

Charlotte's Web is an extraordinarily unique tale that beautifully portrays a deep and heartwarming friendship between two very different animals, a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte.

Living peacefully on the farm, Wilbur and Charlotte's friendship began to blossom in a most unexpected way. Wilbur, the innocent pig, was facing a tragic fate as he was going to be slaughtered by his owner, Mr. Zuckerman. However, Charlotte, with her remarkable intelligence and kindness, came to his rescue. She used her web to create words such as "some pig" and "terrific", which Mr. Zuckerman regarded as a miracle. This led to Wilbur being spared and allowed to live on the farm.

In this wonderful book, the themes of friendship, bravery, and love intertwine to create an amazing and unforgettable relationship between the two animals. Charlotte's selfless act of saving Wilbur not only shows her bravery but also the depth of her love for her friend.

As the story progresses, we see how their friendship grows stronger day by day. They teach and help each other, sharing their knowledge and experiences. For instance, Charlotte teaches Wilbur about how a spider eats, which is a rather gruesome but necessary part of her life.

Near the end of the book, Wilbur is invited to a fair for a contest of being the best pig. At the fair, Charlotte lays her eggs, but unfortunately, she passes away. Wilbur, in a touching display of friendship, honors her by bringing her eggs back to the farm and patiently waiting for them to hatch.

This story teaches us that true friendship is unbreakable and that even in the face of death, the bond between friends can endure. It also shows us the power of love and bravery, and how they can overcome even the most difficult of challenges.

In conclusion, Charlotte's Web is a timeless classic that will touch the hearts of readers of all ages. It is a story that reminds us of the importance of friendship, love, and bravery in our lives.

As a first-time reader, I truly enjoyed Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan.

These two books took me on wonderful adventures and introduced me to unique and charming characters. Stuart Little, with his tiny size and big heart, faced many challenges and overcame them with courage and determination. The Trumpet of the Swan, on the other hand, told the story of a swan named Louis who had a unique way of communicating.

Charlotte's Web is also an enjoyable book, although I read it many years ago. I still remember the touching friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider. The story taught me the importance of loyalty and sacrifice.

I look forward to reading more of E.B. White's works and experiencing the magic of his storytelling once again.

Stuart Little was my favorite among the three.

Sometimes he was a mensch, and at other times, a dandy. Resembling a two-inch high Groucho Marx, this brave and competent dreamer utilized his ingenuity to deal with all kinds of situations that could occur for a mouse in a man's world.

Louis the swan was a character of a similar quixotic nature. However, his story was more conventional and sentimental.

Wilbur, on the other hand, didn't seem to do much except appear "terrific" and "radiant" as described by his guardian angel-spider.

All three books had the theme of friends saving each other's lives and a great deal of joie de vivre. They were written with a delightfully adult whimsy. Only when White listed things did he cross the line from breezy charm to being cloyingly cute.

Overall, these books offered unique and engaging stories that captured the imagination of readers of all ages.

I read this collection to my sons, who are 8 and 5 years old.

Among the three stories, "The Trumpet of the Swan" was their absolute favorite.

It was closely followed by "Charlotte's Web," which also held their attention.

And then there was "Stuart Little." They really liked "Stuart Little" up until the end.

In their opinion, the story just stopped suddenly without any resolution to the search for Margalo.

They were left feeling a bit disappointed as they were eagerly waiting to know what would happen next in Stuart's quest to find Margalo.

Overall, despite this small letdown with "Stuart Little," they still thoroughly enjoyed the collection and it provided many wonderful moments of shared reading and imagination.

We've now read all of these wonderful stories, but this particular one was supposed to be for The Trumpet of the Swan.

We all adored it. By "we," I mean both the children and myself. It was rather strange. I didn't anticipate it to be strange in the same manner as Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web are, yet perhaps I should have. I truly loved the book. It was an absolute joy to read.

N-boy and R-girl were especially fond of the part about Camp KooKoosKoos. They found it quite entertaining and engaging. M-girl, on the other hand, liked the moment when Louis got his trumpet. It was a significant event for her. As for me, I loved the chapter at the zoo where he negotiated his freedom. However, I was a bit disappointed in some aspects of his negotiation.

Overall, The Trumpet of the Swan is a remarkable book that has captured the hearts of all of us.

I know that Charlotte's Web is a classic, but it's a little depressing when it's supposed to be a children's book.

However, The Trumpet of the Swan is definitely more of a favorite for me than the other two. This is the second time I've read it to Isabella. She doesn't remember the first time, but she really enjoyed it this time. She is 6 years old now, and she understood the story much better. Her love for animals also really helped her to appreciate the story more.

I read Stuart Little to her a couple of years ago, and I can't really remember the details of the story, but it is a little strange to think of a family adopting a mouse as their relative.

All in all, they are all good books. But I would hold off on reading them until your kids are at least 6-7 years old, when they can start to read them for themselves. This way, they can better understand and appreciate the stories on their own.

It's important to choose books that are appropriate for the age and reading level of your children. By waiting until they are a bit older, they will be able to get more out of these classic tales.

Moreover, reading to children is a great way to bond with them and introduce them to the wonderful world of literature. So, when the time is right, these books will surely bring joy and entertainment to your little ones.
