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!

4&7 year olds love it!

We have certainly gotten out monies worth out of this purchase! My kids have picked this as their bedtime story many times over.

This book is amazingly touching

This book is so touching because Charlotte, the spider sacrifices herself to save Wilbur. So, I decided to rate the highest point. I recommend this book to all the readers of all ages worldwide.

the characters being portrayed by different people really made it come alive

I loved not only the writing by EB white, I also loved the professional acting to make each character seem real
