Charlotte's Web




Celebrating 70 years of Charlotte's Web - the timeless classic story of friendship and acceptance.

Brought to life by Meryl Streep and a full cast, this beloved book by E. B. White, author of Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan, is a classic of children's literature that is "just about perfect."*

Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spider web tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when he was born the runt of his litter.

E. B. White's Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.

Includes an appreciation written and read by Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet, the cover artist of this edition and author/illustrator of Some Writer!: The Story of E. B. White.

Praise for Charlotte's Web

Praise for CHARLOTTE'S WEB narrated by Meryl Streep and a Full Cast:
"Meryl Streep and a stellar cast take us to the barnyard...Every portrayal of every character, major and minor, bursts with personality."--AudioFile Earphones Award Winner

"Whether we're talking E.B. White's own 2003 narration or the version read to you by your parents/ grandparents/ favorite babysitter, Charlotte's Web has always been an engaging listening experience. But while those versions are excellent, Listening Library's newest edition, narrated by Meryl Streep and performed by a full cast of the audiobook world's strongest kid's lit voices, is transcendent...In a time when we could all use a bit of comfort (and reminder to be humble and good), this audiobook is a gift."--Paste

"A topnotch recording of a beloved book and a must for all audio collections." --Booklist, starred review
