Rozprávkový príbeh dievčatka Fern, ktoré zachráni prasiatko - nedorasteného krpánika - pred krutou sekerou svojho otca a pripraví tak Wilburovi skvelú budúcnosť. Po tom, ako sa Wilbur ocitne v chlieve na farme pána Zuckermana medzi ostatnými zvieratami bez svojej ochrankyne Fern, cíti sa stratený, sám a opustený, ale prichádza mu do cesty stará pavúčica Šarlota. A Wilbur získa ozajstnú priateľku. Príbeh nádherného priateľstva pavúka a prasiatka i človeka a zvieraťa dobýja srdcia detského i dospelého čitateľa. Takmer neviditeľná pavúčia sieť sa stáva záchrankyňou jedného života a článkom utužujúcim priateľstvo a odvahu obetovať sa kvôli niekomu, kto je blízky nášmu srdcu.

Fifteen-year-old Laura learns that living away from home and teaching school can be a bit frightening when most of the students are taller than she is, but every week Almonzo Wilder arrives to take her to her family for the weekend.

A little bunny sets forth to find his very own home.

The little settlement that weathered the long, hard winter of 1880-81 is now a growing town. Laura is growing up, and she goes to her first evening social. Mary is at last able to go to a college for the blind. Best of all, Almanzo Wilder asks permission to walk home from church with Laura. And Laura, now fifteen years old, receives her certificate to teach school.

V poslednej chvíli prejdú rieku Mississippi, skôr než začnú praskať ľady, a vo voze krytom plachtou cestujú veľa dní, kým nájdu vysnívané miesto plné zveriny a rýb.

Focusing on the U.S. military's development of special aircraft types during World War II, including many experimental aircraft and one-off secret projects, this book shows how U.S. aviation designs and weapons progressed under the pressure of global warfare. From the state-of-the-art aircraft at the beginning of the war, to the advances during the conflict, each special type is covered in detail: armed photo reconnaissance, catapult launched seaplanes, naval floatplanes, autogyros, and special-operations armed drones. Often described as less glamorous than fighters and bombers, these special types of WWII combat aircraft offer a unique contribution to military aviation and aeronautical advancement.

Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. The Cricket in Times Square is a 1961 Newbery Honor Book.
