Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend.

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. It contains illustrations by Garth Williams, the acclaimed illustrator of E. B. White's Stuart Little and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among many other books.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

E.B. White's enduring classic celebrates in style with the release of the Charlotte's Web 5oth Anniversary Retrospective Edition. The handsome volume sports a clothbound cover framing original jacket art; inside, Rosemary Wells adds country color to Garth Williams's original b&w illustrations. An afterword by Peter F. Neumeyer illuminates White's life and work, including photographs of the author on his farm in Maine as well as pages from the seminal manuscript.

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."

From the Back Cover

Wilbur, the perfect, radiant, and humble pig, is sent to live on Zuckerman’s farm, away from his best friend, a girl named Fern. Wilbur is eager to meet friends, but nobody shows much interest in becoming him, except for Charlotte the spider. Join Wilbur and all the animals on the farm and witness the beautiful friendship at the heart of this enduring classic. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

From AudioFile

This family classic, loved and enjoyed now by two generations, celebrates its 50th anniversary with a remastered CD edition. The sound is clearer and perhaps a little more crisp, but E.B. White's voice is the same--avuncular and with a twang of New England and New York. It may either delight or annoy listeners, but it's White's reading style that sets this program apart from current audiobooks. He's reading the story to us, much as a parent would read to a child. He's not an actor, and though the character voices he does attempt--Templeton, the rat, is my favorite--are good, it's not a bravura performance. White simply shares his story so intimately that adult listeners notice every nuance of his sentences and his exquisite choice of words. For children the story of Wilbur and Charlotte will be sheer delight. Fresh as it was fifty years ago, White's story still has the power to mesmerize and teach us great lessons of friendship and life. R.F.W.

Amazon.com Review

An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

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.

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.

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.

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

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.

All adults must read

I’ve been reading Charlotte’s Web with my seven year old nephew. We each read a chapter and then get on FaceTime to discuss it. My nephew reads quickly and has a tendency to skip over the words or concepts he doesn’t understand. It’s a fascinating experience for me as I learn what he absorbs or doesn’t.

I haven’t read this story in nearly 50 years. One of my teacher friends warned me, I bet you can’t finish the last chapter without crying. She was right. It was perfect!

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.

Selfishness is... good?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

There are hundreds of reviews to read through, so I do not want or need to cover trampled ground. What I will say is that although I loved this story as a child, as an adult I don't find it to have the same charm. My issue lies with Wilbur. Throughout the text, he is primarily a selfish creature. On the surface, he doesn't seem to always be selfish: he does give compliments to Charlotte from time to time, and he does ultimately lead to the saving of Charlotte's egg sac. However, think about his motives. He clearly saves Charlotte's eggs not only out of love for Charlotte, but more as a means of having a new generation of friends once Charlotte is gone; this is evidenced by his negative reaction to Charlotte's children leaving once they have hatched. Anytime he interacts with Templeton, the supposedly self-centered character, it is because he, Wilbur, wants Templeton to satisfy some need of Wilbur's. Wilbur is a nag constantly demanding Charlotte tell stories, sing songs, save him, etc. In the end, through his selfishness, he survives and continues to have friends, even if not on the same level as the rather one-way friendship he had with Charlotte. So finally, is the point that he who is selfish ultimately gets what he wants? It seems so. And how many of us know people that are selfish and at the end of the day do get what they want? It is rather unpleasant, but this seems to be a reality of the world which E.B. White has captured and encapsulated in our rather ungreat protagonist, Wilbur.

Wonderful wonderful book

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.

A classic that will never go

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm not sure how a book becomes a classic, or if this is even called one (although it was written around the early 1900s and has been turned into a stage show so, probably can join the list of classics if it hasn't already. Aimed at a children's audience this will touch the nerve of anyone who reads it young (probably (9+) or old.

Fern is a little girl who lives on a farm. She has a pig called Wilbur and a spider called Charlotte who is a big grey spider. Together they have all sorts of adventures including the story where they come across Templeton the Rat.

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.
