lsandersonSpotlight: E.B. White wrote Charlotte's Web in 1952. The story of a spider (Charlotte) who tries to save a pig (Wilbur) from slaughter became an instant hit with children and parents alike. Today at noon (EST), schools, libraries and other organizations around the globe are working to break the world record for the most people reading the same passage simultaneously in multiple locations by asking students, educators, librarians and fans of Charlotte's Web to gather in schools, hospitals, libraries and community centers to read a passage from the book. Dakota Fanning stars in a film version of the book, due to be released next week.
Quote: "I don't understand it... When the words appeared, everybody said they were a miracle. But nobody pointed out that the web itself is a miracle."— Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White
