Charlotte's Web: A Newbery Honor Award Winner (Trophy Newbery)

Don’t miss one of America’s top 100 most-loved novels, selected by PBS’s The Great American Read.

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." This paperback edition includes a foreword by two-time Newbery-winning author Kate DiCamillo.

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. 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. 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.

Whether enjoyed in the classroom or for homeschooling or independent reading, Charlotte's Web is a proven favorite.

I haven't revisited this book since reading it to my nephew back in 1985. As an ol' lady who's feeling like Charlotte at the end of the book, the story is as fresh and moving and meaningful as ever. What I really noticed this time was White's power with lists like the food Templeton finds at the fair: "a deviled-ham sandwich, a piece of Swiss cheese, part of a hard-boiled egg, and the core of a wormy apple." Some writer indeed.
