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.

About the Author

E. B. White, the author of such beloved classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan, was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. He died on October 1, 1985, and was survived by his son and three grandchildren.

Mr. White's essays have appeared in Harper's magazine, and some of his other books are: One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White, and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. He won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commended him for making a "substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children."

During his lifetime, many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a letter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, "No, they are imaginary tales . . . But real life is only one kind of life--there is also the life of the imagination."

For 45 years, Meryl Streep continues to bring a varied and vivid array of characters to life in a career that has cut its own unique path from the theater through film and television. Educated in the New Jersey public school system through high school, Ms. Streep graduated cum laude from Vassar College and received her MFA with Honors from Yale University. Within three years of graduation, she made her Broadway debut, won an Emmy for Holocaust, and received her first Oscar nomination for The Deerhunter. She has won three Academy Awards, and in 2018, in a record that is unsurpassed, she earned a 21st nomination for her role as Katharine Graham in The Post. Her recent and upcoming projects include HBO's second season of Big Little Lies, Steven Soderbergh's subversive romp about offshore investment, The Laundromat, for Netflix, and Greta Gerwig's Little Women.

She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and has been accorded a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute, the same honor in 2008 from the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and the 2010 National Medal of Arts from President Obama. In 2011, Ms. Streep received a Kennedy Center Honor and in 2014, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She holds honorary degrees from 10 colleges and universities. Her husband, artist Don Gummer, and she are the parents of a son and three daughters.

Reading Charlotte's Web to my children has been a joyous experience. It's rare to find such elegant prose in children's literature. Hearing this delightful book is a quintessential part of being a child. Reading it a quintessential part of being a parent.

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017

Delivered in a manela bubble wrap envelope. The book arrived in excellent condition. The chapter book is a lovely addition to my daughter's library. She is in 5th grade and requested Charlette's Web for a unit in literature. It compliments her growth from picture books to novels with it's mature vocabulary and artistic illustrations. The sketches are wonderfully balanced with an adventurous story that stimulates the imagination. This is a book anyone can read. I recommend this chapter book for children who are interested in living the story through the read more than the illustrations.

Kindle version is not worth the money

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book itself is great, the Kindle version is poorly done. You would think each page would be the same as the pages in the actual book, but they aren't. No book would put "chapter...." at the bottom of the page and continue the title of the chapter on the next page. There are also sentences that cut off and have a different sentence inserted in the middle, then go back to the original sentence. The viewing is all messed up because it isn't actual pages from the book. I'm extremely disappointed that I paid money for this.

I Give the Author 5 Stars, and Whoever Adapted it for Kindle 1 Star

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Amazing book--get it from another source, however. Whoever adapted this for Kindle must not have looked it over before publishing it. It's so awful--the first paragraph of each chapter is completely mixed up. The font in some chapters is actually written in red--and they are almost impossible to make sense of. Almost all "rt" letter combinations read as "nn". It may be a good test to see if you can solve puzzles, but at a cost of nearly 4 bucks, you'll struggle to read this classic children's book.

Fantastic!

I had forgotten how sad the ending was but how uplifting. Charlotte is a spider who befriends Wilbur the pig. Fern loves Wilbur whom she and Charlotte protect from being sent to the slaughterhouse. Templeton the rat helps and is the comic relief.

I loved this book but I needed a box of Kleenex. It is so well written. The author pulled me into his world. I was so caught up in the story. The characters are wonderful. The humor is subtle but there. I could picture Templeton at the carnival. It is a great book.

An important book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

My youngest granddaughter is a reluctant reader who would prefer to watch the movie than read the book. Until this one. I am a retired primary teacher and I have had to be very wily about getting her engaged. I told her I just had to read with her so I would not forget to be a teacher so she relented and listened to me read. I put on all the voices which she loved. Then I paused at a short paragraph so she could take over. I got her hooked to the point that she admitted that the book is better than the movie. She is now reading a chapter on her own and it is so so gratifying to see her confidence grow with her enjoyment. This is truly a great classic. My pupils all enjoyed it and I knew Eden would too. There's nothing like a good story to develop literacy. We are now doing a "book report" and a "character study" and Eden loves to help me remember.

Absolutely love this book. My 7 year old read it this summer and we talked a lot about friendship and loyalty. It's brilliant for that age group. It is a bit old fashioned but not too old fashioned as to lose a 7 year old's interest. I am now reading it at bedtime to my 6 year old and he quite likes it. I need to explain the themes a bit more but he is happy to chat about them. It still makes me cry decades later at the end! A real children's wonder of a book.

I'm a grumpy cynic, and was sure I'd find something negative to say about this book, which my children wanted me to read for their bedtime story. Sadly I can't, and I have to agree with the other five star reviews. This is a lovely story, beautifully written.

Such a lovely read and beautifully illustrated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been wanting to read this book for a while and I'm so glad that I've finally read it. It's so beautifully written and the illustrations just make it that much better. There's a quote somewhere in the book that I wish I could remember that was perfect, because throughout it all everyone saw Wilbur has being special and little saw Charlotte, the creator of the "miracles" as being special. This book highlighted friendship in a such different and unique way. It's brilliant. The friendship between a pig (Wilbur) and a spider (Charlotte), and all the animals at the farm. Plus the friendship of Fern. There are no boundaries.

Charlotte's Web é um livro de renome nos Estados Unidos, não meramente porque carrega em si um forte apreço pelas crianças; a literatura é maravilhosa, fez com que eu imaginasse tudo e torcesse a cada momento pelo tão carismático Wilbur!
Além da história magnífica, pude praticar a segunda língua, sendo uma das melhores histórias que tenho em Inglês aqui em casa!
Recomendo aos learners (estudantes) que adquiram o livro, vale a pena!

How to get over fear of spiders

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I didn't read this until I was an adult and had had a tremendous fear of spiders my whole childhood and early adulthood. Then, through reading this endearing story of love and courage, I was never able to look at spiders in quite the same way again and have developed an admiration, a fondness even... So if you or your kids have the same fear, this book is a must. The story is great because it has so many learning points, so many morals to the story without being gushy in any way. A great read for ages 4 up, although my 3 year old loves it too...
