“Charlotte’s Web” is a children's book about friendship told through a set of strong characters -- a young girl, a pig, a rat and a spider. Fern is Wilbur’s friend, a farm girl. Wilbur is a small pig, Templeton is a devious rat and Charlotte, whose web gives the book its name, is a beautiful spider. Dressing up as these characters is as easy as gathering a few supplies.
