This is the cover of the classic children's book Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. The title is written in a whimsical, handwritten style, with the word "Charlotte’s" hanging from a spider's web. A small spider, representing Charlotte, dangles from a thread below the title. In the illustration, a young girl with a ponytail tied by a red ribbon holds a pig in her arms. She gazes thoughtfully into the distance, looking peaceful and curious. The pig, likely Wilbur, looks up at her with an affectionate expression. Beside them are two other animals—a sheep and a goose—both observing the girl and pig with friendly expressions. The artwork has a soft, sketch-like quality, creating a warm and nostalgic feel. The illustration is done by Garth Williams, whose signature style complements the gentle, heartfelt story.
