What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Slower reading pace, less forced dramatic expression and more distinct elocution are required. The dialect seems fake and disingenuous.

What do you think your next listen will be?

No more magic tree house.

If you could sum up Charlotte's Web in three words, what would they be?

Radiant, Terrific and Humble

What did you like best about this story?

E.B. White's reading was perfect for my third grader to read along. Listening and reading allowed her to discover precious gems on her own within the dialogue. One favorite example is when Templeton says " I am a glutton but not a merrymaker." Comprehension becomes a delight when it is discovered, rather than a tested task. This particular presentation accomplishes this beautifully.

Have you listened to any of E.B. White and George Plimpton ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

N/A

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
