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" (New York Times).

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Meryl Streep and a stellar cast take us to the barnyard. She draws the listener in with a smooth, consistent delivery and unobtrusive interjections highlighting the emotions of the dialogue. Every portrayal of every character, major and minor, bursts with personality." (AudioFile Magazine)

"[Meryl Streep's] narration is sometimes warm and cozy, like a grandmother reading us to sleep, and other times as dry and witty as was the author himself.... The other performers are terrific, too. One standout: Robin Miles reads the part of the cranky Old Sheep, leavening the character’s dark vision of the pig’s fate with a generous pinch of mordant humor. Also, Tavia Gilbert, as the Goose, has to repeat every word she utters, over and over, at an impossibly rapid clip. January LaVoy as Charlotte is charming." (The New York Times Book Review)

Wonderful, 5+ stars

Outstanding performance of Charlotte's Web. We listened to this in the car and it was loved by our whole family. We will definitely listen to this one again.

I loved this audio production of the children's classic. This is a beautiful story of friendship and love.

So magical and beautiful.

What a beautiful story. It made it even more amazing with the whole cast that played a part in the narration.

Delightful!!

My grands go to sleep every night listening to Meryl's lovely voice and this completely enrapturing story. They love it and I love it!

What a Joy

I love Charlotte's Web The the narration is spectacular you can lay and listen to the story with your children or alone for a bedtime or anytime story and it just takes you back you feel like you're watching a TV show

My favorite audible story!!

I am 10 years old and I LOVE this book! I would recommend it. I like how it was a bit sad but also heartwarming.

Wonderful performance

Casting is perfect. So glad it isn't abridged. This rendition will be loved by children and adults alike.

Best spider ever in the whole wide world.

We loved the voices! What a treat to hear Meryl Streep! Who would have thought that after all of these years, I still cry because a spider dies…

BEST STORY EVER!!!!

When I was in the sixth grade, our teacher would read to us each afternoon a book that had recently come out and “ charlottes web” happened to be one of them. It was in her class I not only fell in love with hearing stories, but also the love of PIGS!!! . The story of charlottes web never gets old and I never grow tired of reading it or hearing it, and this version is in especially Good one.! I am so thankful that someone had the thought of bringing it out.! I have a copy of EB WHITE doing the story Charlotte’s web on vinyl 33 1/3 album ( A3 record set) unfortunately! EB Whites Voice is so monotone that one can fall a sleep listening to it.! So that is why I am so thankful that audible has brought out this Recording. It comes back alive with all the characters. I especially enjoy the voice of Templeton.! Unfortunately the only person I know or maybe I should say I’ve heard of is Meryl Streep I have never heard of any of the other players Whom have done the voices. But they are all very talented and very good and I enjoyed the book immensely and will enjoy re-listening to it again and again and sharing it with my granddaughter.

Awesome audio book.

This was my granddaughter's first audio book and she loved it. Highly recommend it!
