Maureen Corrigan. Read An Excerpt. In a poll of librarians, teachers, publishers and authors, the trade magazine Publisher's Weekly asked for a list of the best children's books ever published in the United States. Hands down, the No. White's Charlotte's Web. One early fall morning in , E. White walked into the barn of his farm in Maine and saw a spider web. That in itself was nothing new, but this web, with its elaborate loops and whorls that glistened with early morning dew, caught his attention. Weeks passed until one cold October evening when he noticed that the spider was spinning what turned out to be an egg sac. White never saw the spider again and, so, when he had to return later that fall to New York City to his job as a regular contributor to The New Yorker magazine, White took out a razor blade and cut the silken egg sac out of the web. He put the sac in an empty candy box, punched some holes in it, and absent-mindedly put the box atop his bedroom bureau in New York. Weeks later, a movement on that bureau alerted him to the fact that tiny spiderlings were making a Great Escape through the air holes. White was delighted at this affirmation of life and left the hundreds of barn spiderlings alone for the next week or so — to spin webs from his hair brush to his nail scissors to his mirror — until, finally, the cleaning lady complained.
Charlotte's Web is a American comedy-drama film based on the novel of the same name by E. Directed by Gary Winick and written by Susannah Grant and Karey Kirkpatrick , it is the second film adaptation of White's book, following a animated version produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

During springtime on a farm in Somerset County, Maine , young Fern Arable discovers her father John about to kill a runt of a litter of newborn pigs, to which she successfully begs her father to spare the piglet's life and gets the piglet which she names Wilbur and nurtures him lovingly. The next morning, Fern sneaks Wilbur in her school desk, causing commotion and for her to lie to her teacher about stowing him in her desk. The teacher forces Fern to open her desk and her classmates laugh, but the teacher sends Fern to the principal's office as punishment where Mrs. Arable is called to pick them up from school. When Wilbur has matured, Fern is regretfully forced to take him to her uncle Homer Zuckerman's barnyard. Arable feels slightly concerned for Fern's behavior and one night, prevails upon Fern to stay home, do her homework and go straight to bed. During this time, Wilbur feels abandoned and is left yearning for companionship, but is snubbed by the other animals in the barn, consisting of a serious and steadfast sheep named Samuel; a fun-loving and kindly goose couple named Gussy and Golly; two beautiful and laid-back cow sisters named Bitsy and Betsy; and a cowardly and humorous horse named Ike until he is befriended by Charlotte A.
