Meta-Spoiler

I was so looking forward to sharing Charlotte's Web with my daughter.  But before we did, she read this book, which gave the ending away!

  1. Spoilers for other books exist in literature, but usually in the context that assumes the reader likely has read the other book, or has lived long enough to have heard the spoiler from another source. The author here should have known the audience was young and therefore hadn't heard about the other book yet.
