I loved this one as a kid, but I love it even more, if possible, as an adult and a parent. After listening through it dozens of times in the audiobook version read by EB White himself (we listen to it at least once a month), I would put it in my top five children's books of all time. It's such a quintessentially American book, with clean prose and snappy dialogue. White understood so well the wonder of childhood and imagination, and Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship is almost unbearably sweet without ever becoming saccharine. The story is simple enough for my three year old to follow along and enjoy and nuanced enough for me to enjoy with each rereading. A classic for a reason!
