An entertaining biography of the man behind Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web, two of the best loved children's books of all time. Learn about E.B. White's exciting life in this new addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling series!
Today, most people remember E. B. White as the beloved children's book author who gave us Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, but did you know that most of his career was spent writing for famous magazines like The New Yorker? His lifelong dream to write a children's book about a mouse would take years to get published before it became the classic book we know and love today. A few years later, White would publish yet another children's book inspired by a pig he had raised and a spider whose webs he loved to admire in his barn.

      Grades 3-7 The Who Was series began with four biographies published in 2002. Now part of the Who HQ series (6 new titles) (including What Was? and other subsets), it's still going strong. These recent volumes present a variety of topics, but they share the same kid-friendly look, with quirky, inviting cover art, wide-spaced lines of text, and attractive, black-and-white line drawings. The nonfiction narrative is simply written, straightforward, and well paced, while illustrated sidebars fill in relevant historical information. In Who Was E. B. White?, readers will learn how a shy fellow became a writer celebrated for his contributions to The New Yorker and his enduring children's books. Highly popular with young readers, this informative series takes on some challenging topics and presents them in a responsible, very readable way.
