Charlotte's Web turns 60 on October 5, 2012. My students will most likely convince me to throw a birthday party for Charlotte, Wilbur, and Fern. It won't take much convincing. Just imagine the possibilities! Will Charlotte create the invitation? What will I serve? What will we play? Good times!
Newbery Medalist Katie DiCamillo wrote the foreword to the 60th anniversary edition. I'm going to share the following video with my students.
Take a peek inside the 60th anniversary edition.
Happy early birthday to Charlotte's Web!
Borrow Charlotte's Web from your school or public library. Whenever possible, please support independent bookshops.
