Product Description:
Fern loved Wilbur more than anything, and Wilbur loved her too. . . .
Some Pig! introduces a new generation to Wilbur, the most lovable pig in children's literature. E. B. White's masterful text from the classic Charlotte's Web, combined with artist Maggie Kneen's finely detailed work, brings to life the enchanting friendship between Fern and Wilbur. This charming picture-book edition will capture the imagination and win the hearts of young readers everywhere.

Rating:  -
This book has truly beautiful illustrations, however, it is only about 1/3 or the actual story and it ends at a very dark and gloomy point with no wrap up at all. Wilbur is sold and it ends with "The next day, Wilbur was taken from his home under the apple tree and went to live in a manure pile in the cellar of Zuckerman's barn."
Talk about a cruddy stopping point. Jeez - if this is the preschooler version of the story, it sure is a gloomy ending.

This lovely picture book, based on a short part of the beloved E. B. White classic, is perfect to introduce the story and characters to younger children who are not yet ready for longer chapter books. The story focuses on Fern's love for Wilbur, omitting details of the original story that might be disturbing for a younger audience (such as the fact that the runt of the litter was usually killed). We follow Wilbur's adventures when he lives with Fern, and the story ends when he is sold to Mr. Zuckerman ... Read More

The illustrations in this book are beautiful, and they are the only thing about the book that I can recommend. The book's ending is awful (I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing the book). I can see that this picture book is meant to be one in a series, but they ended this first book in a very bad way (in my opinion): the book ends with Wilbur being sold by Fern and put in a dark cellar on a manure pile (yes, you read that correctly; in a dark cellar on a manure pile - The End). That's fairly ... Read More

If you think that this book is the picture book version of the story, you're in for a big surprise. This book doesn't even cover 1/10th of the story in my opinion, definitely no mention of the spider, or the other animals in the barn. It only focuses on the friendship between Fern and Wilbur, and the good times they spent together. Then it ended VERY ABRUPTLY when Wilbur is sold to Fern's uncle's farm and went to live in a "menure pile". My child finds it terribly disburbing, and I was left saying, "What ... Read More

This is a great picture book of Charlotte's Web.
- It ends when Wilbur is sold (lots more story to tell...)
- The drawings are different than the 1973 movie (still great)
I would increase my rating if it was clearer that this picture book contains about 1/3 of the entire story. I hope the author releases more additions that continue to cover the original book in its entirety.
