Is Sex Necessary?: Or Why You Feel the Way You Do 3 reviews
James Thurber, E. B. White
Harper Perennial, 2004
What a romp!
Thurber's and White's text satirizing the hullabaloo that our dearest lunatic, Mr. Sigmund Freud, began takes whatever cake is being handed out for satirical writing. It's universally funny, lucid, and did I mention funny? It's hilarious. One should pull out one's thesaurus at this point to find other such words, and all will be a propos. The book should have been a trilogy.

read it again--and again
I say, and not for the first time or after reading his first book (I've read them all, again and again) that anyone who wants to learn to write contemporary English as it should be written should close himself in a room with EB White for as long as it takes. He or she might even learn to be a better person from the example.

Another family favorite
The Trumpet of the Swan turned out to be another big hit for my family and I to share together. You know you have a big hit with my kids when they will do whatever you ask of them just so you will sit there and read the next chapter!!
TOTS is told from a number of different perspectives. It starts off from the perspective of Sam Beaver, a young boy from Montana on vacation with his father in ...

One of the Greats
I have read this classic to my kids (and to myself, decades ago), and two of my daughters have read it too.
My 10-year old says that she find it believeable, even with the talking animals. By that, I think that she appreciates the humanization of the animal characters. This is a story, tenderly told, about life and death, friendship, selfishness and generosity, and generally what it means to ...

HarperTrophy, 1997
An excellent companion to the original book.
I purchased this book several years ago to give me more insight into E.B. White's classic novel. Every time I read and re-read the notes, rewrites and history of this touching story for children, I find myself learning so much more about the writing style of this fabulous author. The photographs of White's farmhouse add texture and depth to the story and my first grade students appreciated ...

Got a Daschound?
Worth the price for the cut "Letter To The I.R.S." Alone! If you've got a dachshund, any dog, and had to leave them, been audited, lived in New York or Maine, or just need to have a smile today, this will do it!. By the author of "Charlotte's Web" and read by Mr. White's son, Joel. A perfect voice, and the right pacing and inflection for reading his Dad's work. A smile at least; probably a loud ...

George's Pond: Created in the Beloved Tradition of Charlotte's Web
Being a children's author and teacher, I often enjoy reading Charlotte's Web as a child and now I enjoy reading the book to my son and my students. I think part of the reason this book has remained one of my favorites is because of the classic friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte. Both characters ...

Charlotte's Web Book Review
The author has used very discriptive words and lets people understand what he is saying by letting us visualise what he imagines. My favorite part was when Charlotte met Wilbur and they became friends. I highly recomend this book for kids ages 6 to 13. This book shows the true meaning of friendship. it is the best book ever written!

Peter Smith Pub Inc, 2001
Word genius
Twenty two of the essays appeared in THE NEW YORKER. White had candor. His piece on the death of his pig is masterful. He examined his own feelings and community reaction. The role of his dachshund, Fred, is described amusingly. It is no wonder White wrote so winningly for children.
In 1954 when he had no television he was looked upon as an eccentric. During Hurricane Edna radio worked ...
