Salutations!




"Never hurry and never worry!"
~Charlotte

"With men it's rush, rush, rush every minute."
~Charlotte

"The quickest way to spoil a friendship is to wake somebody up in the morning before he is ready."
~The Oldest Sheep

As a little girl I was not introduced to Charlotte, but when my children were in elementary school I would read to them in the mornings before they left for school.  I didn't know how Charlotte's Web ended and when we got to the end of the book we were all crying as they went off to school.  We loved the book; so I was thrilled when
 Beverly at Tea Time and Roses recently sent me two copies of this
book. She noticed that I loved children's books.   I told her I would share
one of the copies with you; so here is another give-away.

Leave a comment on this post and I will draw a name the morning of
March 18th, Thursday.

Such a wonderful book! This was one of our kids story-time books as well. Many of the comments in the book became family quotes when the situation applied.

You brought a smile to my face today!

What a lovely book for a giveaway. For some reason I never read Charlotte's Web as a child. I think the Oldest Sheep is on to something. ;-)

You needen't include me in the drawing, as I already have 2 copies, but I love the book and read it to my kids as well and we all cried. "Some pig"

What a wonderful gift! I love this story but, like you, I never read it when I was growing up. I first heard it when my children were young and we read it many times. I love children's books, too.
