Semirdzhyan's muted watercolor illustrations, featuring expressive faces, delightful scenery, and wispy spiderwebs, along with the simple-but not overly short-sentences on each page make a charming introduction to this tale of cherished farm friends. More than 70 years since their debut, Charlotte remains a devoted friend, and Wilbur is still "some pig." - Michelle Proper, Booklist
