Thanks 🙂 I had forgotten about it till I was browsing through my read list on goodreads! And I liked that cover but it didn’t make it into my favorites because Wilbur wasn’t on it!

What a fantastic choice of book for this week:)). I love the original alongside the movie tie-in. As you said – it was a lovely rendition of the original, showing real respect for the mood of the book. So I want BOTH of them!

Oh my gosh, I had no idea there were so many covers of Charlotte’s Web! I only knew the first one you showed, which became one of your finalists. I do admit that I’ve always liked that cover because it immediately reminds me of how great the story is. But I do like your winner because of the pig’s smile!

I like the cover you picked, but I think I’m partial to the Garth Williams illustrated one myself.
