Detailed item info
| Synopsis | |
| Louis, a voiceless Trumpeter swan, finds himself far from his wilderness home when he determines to communicate by learning to play a stolen trumpet. Louis, a young trumpeter swan, is born mute. His mother is concerned--how can Louis sing "koh-hoh" to a female swan and let her know he loves her? Louis's father flies to a store and steals a trumpet for Louis, and the young swan soon becomes a master trumpeter and a celebrity in the human world. His fame earns him money to pay for the stolen trumpet, and his beautiful music helps him win the love of his life, the beautiful swan, Serena. | |

| Industry reviews | |
| "E.B. White's third novel for children join the two others ['Stuart Little' and 'Charlotte's Web'] on the shelf of classics....[This] is the most spacious and serene of the three, the one most imbued with the author's sense of the precious instinctual heritage represented by wild nature. Its story most persuasively offers itself to children as a parable of growing, yet does not lack the inimitable tone of the two earlier works--the simplicity that never condescends, the straight and earnest telling that happens upon, rather than veers into comedy....White's concreteness holds the door open for unpleasantness, and also engenders textures of small surprise and delightful rightness." New York Times Book Review - John Updike (06/28/1970) "Humor abounds and beauty--of nature, of relationships, of time passing--shines through [in a] story that will captivate children of all ages."
