(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Garth Williams & Rosemary Wells. Geared to gift-buyers, this "signature edition" (previously published as a "50th Anniversary Retrospective Edition") is an oversize book featuring large print. Bigger is not necessarily better, and Rosemary Wells's colorization of Garth Williams's art adds little to the book. Appended is an informative afterword by Peter F. Neumeyer.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Garth Williams. This oversize "Special Read-Aloud Edition" features large type and illustrations. The bigger pictures may be useful with a group; otherwise, there's nothing new here.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Here White's tale of honor, love, friendship, and whimsy gets a distinctive look with font change and appropriate sepia-toned illustrations that outnumber, and possibly outclass, those of the original edition.
