Favorite book of all time submitted by peterflorence on August 6, 2015, 11:35am This is a great book about a swan who has no voice and so his father steals a trumpet for him and he has to learn hoe to play it. Action packed, and it never fails to impress me.

A Favorite book submitted by abigailmurphy on August 8, 2019, 1:17pm We love this book. It is also a great book to listen to.

animal humanity submitted by FordAlpha on August 17, 2019, 1:11pm E.B. White's genius was using talking animals to tell stories of profound humanity. Although "Charlotte's Web" is better known, "The Trumpet of the Swan" is an equally great example of White's storytelling gift, and Louis the mute trumpeter swan is a relatable hero. This book has a bit of everything that makes a good story: humor, action, relationships, varied settings, surprising turns of plot, and poignancy.
