Book Overview

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 paper-over-board 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.

Classic read

Wonderful condition. Great chapter book to read younger kids. We watched the movie after and it was fun to see it come to life.

Great book, not what I ordered

I am working on learning German and ordered a copy in German. I received a non-returnable hardback English copy that smells like a tobacco shop. Refund was issued but still frustrating.

Literature with a Child’s Charm

Honestly, it’s a great book. This would be a good intro to literature. It’s a children’s classic but I think it’s a nice read for any age! Bittersweet and wonderfully written. Thanks Charlotte❤️‍🩹

I was sent wrong format

I wanted a hardcopy of Charlotte's Web for my book collection, and selected and paid for a hardcover in "Like New" condition. I was sent a paperback with discolored, aged pages. I ordered another hardcopy novel in Very Good Condition, in the same order and received a paperback version as well. I'll be returning both books. This is very disappointing!

Children’s classic

I haven’t read this book in many years. It was one of my favorites when I was in second or third grade. I am excited to read it again. I love the characters, especially Fern. Charlotte is also my favorite. Great book for kids or those woo are young at heart.

It’s not exactly “very good condition”

Just received this book for my daughter today, it was marked as “very good condition” and as the book is not falling apart in anyway, there is coloring on every page with pictures and even the back of the hard cover. Now I realize it’s a children’s book, but it’s just not the condition I thought I was paying for.
