Read Aloud Radio: Charlotte's Web

Read Aloud Radio is a new feature by Community Voices producer Jonathan Platt. He has organization called Story Chain, which brings families together through the reading of children’s books. And through this work, he’s come upon a lot of children’s books that are great to read aloud. For the next few weeks, he’s going to recommend some of them.

You probably know the story of Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. A young pig is saved from the ax and is then moved to the Zuckerman barn. He meets a host of animals, including a talkative goose. In this episode, Elizabeth Wells, mother of two daughters from Fairborn, reads Wilbur's story.
