E.B. White is famous for his book Charlotte's Web. It is my all time favorite book in the world. Most of he books can be taught to upper elementary level students such as 4th and 5th graders. White was known for his crisp, graceful, relaxed style. White's stories ranged from satire to children's fiction. Many of his books have been made into movies that people of all ages enjoy, like Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. Once reading a E.B. White book you will never forget it.
