This October, Charlotte’s Web is turning 60. I’m guessing that kids reading it today are still charmed by Wilbur, Charlotte, Fern, and the rest of the cast. It has a wonderfully timeless feel, and this trailer to celebrate the upcoming anniversary got me teary:

Might have to reread this one before the anniversary! It’s been a long time.

PS–I hate spiders. I can’t even look at pictures of them. But Charlotte is okay by me.
