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.

An old remembered book narrated by Meryl Streep is a captivating listening experience. The story comes alive through the audiobook with flowing narrative which kept me wanting to never put it down.

Charlottes Web was a great memory with Meryl Streep reading to me

Meryl Streep's narration is charming. The other characters are lively. My 5 year old daughter is a big fan of this version. I would only comment that Avery along with Charlotte's 'babies' have obviously older voice actors and, because of this, they don't flow well with the other characters. It would also be nice if there were a few more atmospheric noises in the story. But a very nice version overall!

Delightful version

Zero problem finishing this book with my 5 and 8 year old children. Meryl Streep's performance and the other cast we're absolutely fantastic and made the book a completely new experience for me. I highly recommend this audible book.

I was fairly "meh" about this book when I was a kid. I recently heard that the audio version was a full-cast rendition with Meryl Streep doing the narrator's part, so I got it and listened to it. Still doesn't take me past "It was ok", but I did like the audio version, although it was apparent that Streep's narration was recorded separately and the other voices added later, which made some oddly jarring disconnects between the voices, as when the rat character says something in a fairly neutral tone, and Streep snarls, "said the *RAT*". Clearly neither actor knew how the other was interpreting that bit. I call that poor directing and/or poor editing.

Some pig.
