One of E.B. White’s most popular creations, Charlotte’s Web is a beautiful tale of love and
friendship. The story centres on Wilbur, a runt pig, and Charlotte, a barn
spider. Having been adapted and produced both as a cartoon and a movie, I am pleased
to share that The Little Company (part of Singapore Repertory Theatre) will be
bringing this story to the stage from 28 October.
To avoid Wilbur
being sent to the butcher, Charlotte proves to be a true friend by coming to
his rescue. Drawing attention to Wilbur through skillfully woven messages about
the pig, her efforts succeeded in making Wilbur a celebrity pig of some sort,
much to the delight of Farmer Zuckerman and his family.
This delightful classic has been hailed as "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years" by The Children's Literature Association. Simple in story line but rich in lessons on love and sacrifices, this is definitely a wonderful story to share with your children.
I am pleased to share that I have a family package of 4 tickets to give away!

ReplyDeleteI want my kids to know that friendship is one of the most important things in the world.
ReplyDeleteWould love my child to learn & understand about empathy & cherish what she has been given and at the same time learn about putting oneself before others.
ReplyDelete** putting others before oneself.
ReplyDelete(fat fingers makes mistakes..opps sorry)
I want my kids to always be humble. Wilbur was modest; fame did not spoil him. As a result, everyone gravitated toward him even more.
ReplyDeleteZoey Chan

ReplyDeleteOne thing that I think I want to share with my children from this story is that friendship is very important. If it were not for Charlotte, Wilbur would have gotten killed.
ReplyDeleteLouis Lee
When you are a true friend, you will be there in your friend's time irrespective of time.
ReplyDeleteTreasure friendship as true friends are hard to come by!
ReplyDeleteFriendship, this is probably the hardest things I need to teach my child. I realised maybe this play could be the way to teach him how to maintain a friendship.
ReplyDeleteWill teach them the importance of friendship.

Sacrificial love and treasure all friendship they have!
ReplyDeleteI wanna teach my girl on love and sacrifices and what friendship is all about! It's a lesson for what me as a Mother have gone thru too. Not a friends you met a truthful to you...a lot comes and go! But those who stay by ur side when you are happy and sad are your true friends!!
ReplyDeleteI want my girl to learn and understand the meaning of friendship and the importance of choosing a true friend. True friends help and care for one another. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
ReplyDeleteI wish my kids to learn the importance of friendship and loyalty. How charlotte helped Wilbur even to her death.
ReplyDeleteMany a times, we always think that our friends must be big and powerful to help us. But Charlotte showed us that even a small spider can save a pig's life. Hence i want to share with my children - be friends with everyone regardless of their built, their background or even differences. There are so much that others can teach us.
ReplyDeleteShow compassion whenever possible and treasure friendship.
ReplyDeleteKhor Lee Ling
Loyalty goes hand-in-hand with the theme of friendship in the novel.
ReplyDeleteFern and Charlotte are both very loyal to Wilbur. They work hard to save him from slaughter because they love him, especially Charlotte. Even when she is tired or near the end of her life, she is still thinking of how to help Wilbur.
In the real world, people are often loyal to other people (like family members) or to objects (like food.) I would discuss with my children the two types of loyalty and see if they have any opinion on which one seems better.
