About this listen

 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.

If you're going to get any audio version of this story, get this one with the full voice cast. It's a timeless tale of the bonds we make in life and the sadness we feel when we have to say goodbye. As a child, I felt the pain of loss that Wilber felt for Charlotte. As an adult, I can feel Charlotte's dedication and the sense of purpose that she found in the friendship of a pig. That in her own way, she found a purpose in saving Wilber's life and making it happy, and it was worth everything to her.

I'm going to cry.

One of my favorite childhood books

I read it as a child and loved sharing it with our daughter on a road trip. A beautifully meaningful story. Stunning in its complex simplicity.

Beautiful!

Having purchased the original version of this book read by the author himself, I was naturally curious when this multicast narration came available. I was absolutely delighted, surprised and enchanted by the beauty of the story and the multiple casting with so many actors playing the roles of every character in the story. This is a format I would like to see more often with audiobooks as it truly brings to life what can be seen as a tired format. I hope that every child who listens to this learns to love, appreciate and understand the majesty of nature and every adult is enchanted by the simplicity and moral threads that are weaved in to this story.

Simply gorgeous narration and story
