Likes: I like this book because it has dialogues between animals. The book also has funny parts, such as Fern’s brother accidentally squashing a goose egg!The book narrates a beautiful story of friendship between a spider and a pig. The language and writing style are very interesting. In the end, the story will leave you feeling happy and a little sad, but I won’t tell you why.
Recommendation: I recommend this book to kids 8 years and above since the story is a little complicated and a little emotional. I highly recommend this book since it’s a fun, fuzzy and a good read. This book was awarded the John Newbery Medal. It’s a must read and even makes a great gift for kids!
