Charlotte's Web

I had no expectations for this book, and I was still disappointed.

This is an abridged version of E. B. White's “Charlotte's Web”. It's a 6-chapter storybook that tells the story of Wilbur, a small piglet, who befriends Charlotte, a spider on the farm where he lives. When they find out that Wilbur will eventually be slaughtered, Charlotte uses her web-spinning skills to write messages that praise Wilbur. When Charlotte dies of old age, Wilbur takes care of the eggs that she leaves behind.

This book is designed where each chapter is a single illustration with text at the bottom. However, the Kindle version that I read had the illustrations rotated horizontally and split into two pages. This split made it difficult to enjoy the illustrations that would have been otherwise nice.
The book is extremely short, so I expected the language would be meant for a very young age, but what I found were more complex sentences that didn't match the look of the book or the length of the text.

I picked this book up specifically to satisfy a prompt in a challenge, which I accomplished. I never read the original story, and I didn't have the time, energy, or desire to do that, so I went for the first abridged edition available on KU, and I guess you get what you pay for.
