Read Common Sense Media’s Review
Following our screening of Charlotte’s Web, head upstairs to the Jane Peck Gallery where we will have spiders from the Greenburgh Nature Center. A fun activity for the whole family!
The classic story of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice comes to life in this live-action adaptation. Fern (Dakota Fanning) is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures – a spider named Charlotte – and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur’s days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte – who sees miracles in the ordinary – spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is “some pig” and worth saving.
Activity: All attendees will be entered for a chance to win a copy of the beloved children’s book Charlotte’s Web. Want to read the book in advance? Stop by our neighbor The Village Bookstore!
