The delightful classic by E. B. White, author
of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, about
overcoming obstacles and the joy of music.
Like the rest of his family, Louis is a
trumpeter swan. But unlike his four brothers and sisters, Louis can't trumpet
joyfully. In fact, he can't even make a sound. And since he can't trumpet his
love, the beautiful swan Serena pays absolutely no attention to him.
Louis tries everything he can think of to win
Serena's affection--he even goes to school to learn to read and write. But
nothing seems to work. Then his father steals him a real brass trumpet. Is a
musical instrument the key to winning Louis his love?
We, and our children, are lucky to have
this book. --John Updike
