<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> A beautiful, large, gray spider weaves a message into her web in an effort tosave her friend, Wilbur the pig, from slaughter. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong>Don't miss one of America's top 100 most-loved novels, selected by PBS's <em>The Great American Read.</em></strong></p><p><strong>This beloved book by E. B. White, author of <em>Stuart Little</em> and <em>The Trumpet of the Swan</em>, is a classic of children's literature that is just about perfect. This paperback edition includes a foreword by two-time Newbery winning author Kate DiCamillo.</strong></p><p><em>Some Pig. Humble. Radiant.</em> 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. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when he was born the runt of his litter.</p><p>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 <em>Stuart Little</em> and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among many other books.</p><p>Whether enjoyed in the classroom or for homeschooling or independent reading, <em>Charlotte's Web</em> is a proven favorite.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>Sixty years ago, on October 15, 1952, E.B. White's <em>Charlotte's Web</em> was published. It's gone on to become one of the most beloved children's books of all time. To celebrate this milestone, the renowned Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo has written a heartfelt and poignant tribute to the book that is itself a beautiful translation of White's own view of the world--of the joy he took in the change of seasons, in farm life, in the miracles of life and death, and, in short, the glory of everything. </p><p>We are proud to include Kate DiCamillo's foreword in the 60th anniversary editions of this cherished classic. </p><p><em>Charlotte's Web</em> is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur--and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn. </p><p>With the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to quite a pig. </p><p>How all this comes about is Mr. White's story. It is a story of the magic of childhood on the farm. The thousands of children who loved Stuart Little, the heroic little city mouse, will be entranced with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language. </p><p>The forty-seven black-and-white drawings by Garth Williams have all the wonderful detail and warmhearted appeal that children love in his work. Incomparably matched to E.B. White's marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly. </p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Wilbur, a lovable pig, is rescued from a cruel fate by a beautiful and intelligent spider named Charlotte. ?Told with delicacy, humor, and wisdom...a perfect blending of fantasy and complete realism."--" Booklist"
