Not just for children
|
I just recently read this book, at 21 as it came highly recommended by friends as a 'must read classic.' I thought it was a fantastic tale of friendship and didn't have a predictable everyone lives happily ever after ending.
I have heard more positive things about this story from adults than children, and think it is a story truly to be passed through the ages as parents read this much loved story from their childhood to their own children.
It should not just be dismissed as a 'kids book' as all ages can enjoy and identify with it's themes.

Classic story - a must read for kids!
|
Read this book as a child, and have recently bought it for my 8 year old daughter. She loved it as much as I did. Its a lovely story, and a real classic. It doesnt have the usual "and everyone lived happily ever after" ending either, I think thats good as kids do need to see that that doesnt always happen.
I will certainly be keeping hold of this book in the hope that my 2 sons will read it too, when they're old enough.

Wonderful

As a child I loved this book, the characters are wonderful especially Charlotte, for a childrens book it is full of depth but in easy to understand language, it is sad but it just makes the book more poignant and i love the way it does not shy away from reality.

One of the best books ever written. If theres one book you must get your children to read, make it this. The ending is a testament to the author, for being very brave, and being able to pull it off with ease!
