Summary: The Trumpet of the Swan
Review: I would recommend the book, The Trumpet of the Swan, to anyone who likes a loving and caring book. I liked it because the characters are so funny, smart, caring, and loving. One of my favorite characters in the book is Louis, a swan who can't talk but can write in English and willingly plays the trumpet for all of his fans. I also liked Sam, a boy who unexpectedly meets Louis in his hometown and tries to help Louis. Other characters include Sam's father, Mr. Beaver, Louis' father, mother, and brothers, Serena, Louis' girlfriend/wife, and many other interesting people that Louis meets in his adventures. The Trumpet of the Swan taught me two lessons. The first is to never give up. Louis never gives up on his dreams. The other leson I happily learned from this book is to always try your best. Louis did the very best he could in any situation he ran into. I think everyone should read this book because it is entertaining, fun, and teaches valuable lessons about life. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves an exciting and uplifting story.

Summary: Very inspirational
Review: First of all, I love it when you have to use your imagination in a story and E.B. White is a wonderful story-teller. Whenever I read this book, I think of lazy summer nights by the campfire and someone telling this story to sleepy-eyed children, while the lightening bugs flicker and owls hooting in the distance. It's a great story for all ages. Louis is born without a voice. He is a Trumpeter Swan and he must have a voice otherwise he won't be able to mate someday. He went to school with his friend, Sam Beaver, and learned to read and write. But that didn't help because none of the other swans knew how to read and write. So his father decided to steal a trumpet for Louis so Louis can "talk." And the adventures for Louis begin as he works all across the USA to pay for the stolen trumpet and the damages to the store. Along the way, Louis finds his true love again and they get married. It's a wonderful story about courage, honesty and bravery. Louis braved strange places and made himself a living to earn money to pay back his father's debts. It's a deeply imaginative story as well ~~ you can almost see the mist rising off the small pond in Canada in the early sunrise. No matter how old you are, you are never too old to read this rich story. It's written for everyone who has an imagination. It's a must-read for serious readers ~~ it stays with you for a life-time! 1-12-04

Summary: One of the finest children's books ever written
Review: Often overlooked in favor of CHARLOTTE'S WEB (and probably STUART LITTLE, what with the film coming out), THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN is an unforgettable, poetic and deeply moving story of love, friendship, and most importantly, coming to terms with a disability. I read this book as a child, and years later, can appriciate it on a whole new level. Years after I read this book, I was diagnosed with fine and gross motor disabilities, which made tasks like handwriting very difficult for me. Thanks to computers and the like, I have been able to surpass this problem- and am now actually pursuing an English Major in college. One of the things that helped me over the years was thinking back to this book, with its story of Louis the mute swan, whose father commits a crime to give him a trumpet to let his voice be heard and live some semblance of a normal life- and how Louis, in a quest to repay the world for his father's crime, manages to win the heart of his great love and gain world-wide fame. Written in White's own simple yet profound prose (this is the co-author of THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE, after all), no one who reads this book will ever forget it. This book literally changed my life- buy a copy, and let it change someone else's life as well.
