Book Description

8 and up

Esta es la historia de una niña llamada Fern

quien quería a un cerdito llamado Wilbur—

y de la querida amiga de Wilbur, Carlota A. Cavatica,

una bella y gran araña gris que vivía con Wilbur en el granero.

Con la ayuda de Templeton, la rata

que jamás hacía nada por nadie, a no ser que obtuviera algún beneficio, y con un plan maravillosamente ingenioso trazado por ella misma, Carlota salvó la vida de Wilbur, quien ya se había convertido en todo un cerdo.

El Sr. White cuenta esta maravillosa historia. Es una historia acerca de la magia de la infancia en una granja. Los miles de niños que amaron a Stuart Little, el heroico ratoncito de la ciudad, adorarán a Carlota la araña, a Wilbur el cerdo y a Fern, la niña que entendía su lenguaje.

Las cuarenta y siete ilustraciones en blanco y negro de Garth Williams tienen todos los maravillosos detalles y el tierno atractivo que tanto les gustó a los niños en stuart little.

More About the Author

E.B. White, the author of twenty books of prose and poetry, was awarded the 1970 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for his children's books, Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. This award is now given every three years "to an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have, over a period of years, make a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children." The year 1970 also marked the publication of Mr. White's third book for children, The Trumpet of the Swan, honored by The International Board on Books for Young People as an outstanding example of literature with international importance. In 1973, it received the Sequoyah Award (Oklahoma) and the William Allen White Award (Kansas), voted by the school children of those states as their "favorite book" of the year.

Born in Mount Vernon, New York, Mr. White attended public schools there. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1921, worked in New York for a year, then traveled about. After five or six years of trying many sorts of jobs, he joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. The connection proved a happy one and resulted in a steady output of satirical sketches, poems, essays, and editorials. His essays have also appeared in Harper's Magazine, and his books include One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E.B. White, The Essays of E.B. White and Poems and Sketches of E.B. White. In 1938 Mr. White moved to the country. On his farm in Maine he kept animals, and some of these creatures got into his stories and books. Mr. White said he found writing difficult and bad for one's disposition, but he kept at it. He began Stuart Little in the hope of amusing a six-year-old niece of his, but before he finished it, she had grown up.

For his total contribution to American letters, Mr. White was awarded the 1971 National Medal for Literature. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy named Mr. White as one of thirty-one Americans to receive the Presidential Medal for Freedom. Mr. White also received the National Institute of Arts and Letters' Gold Medal for Essays and Criticism, and in 1973 the members of the Institute elected him to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a society of fifty members. He also received honorary degrees from seven colleges and universities. Mr. White died on October 1, 1985.

5.0 out of 5 stars La telarana de Carlota, May 29, 2006
Yo le recomiendo este libro a todos que quieren regresar a su infancia. Yo estoy muy encantada con este libro. La historia de Carlota es mejor. También intentar Los Reinos Y Los Elfos De Las Quimeras.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Translation, May 24, 2011
I love the faithful translation and the same great story, but my favorite aspect was the alteration made to Garth Williams' original illustrations so that Charlotte's web actually spells out her famous words in Spanish. The only reason the book did not get the full 5 stars is because two of the images were printed wrong (the one of Charlotte laying on her web is upside-down, while the picture of the fair is a mirror image of the original). Otherwise, the book was fantastic.

I haven't read Charlotte's web in English, and I chose it to practice reading in Spanish as one of the first books... after all that's how I got fluent in English.

it was great!

Beautiful, well-told story.
