The Trumpet of the Swan
The Trumpet of the Swan introduces you to Louis, a trumpeter swan who is unable to make any sound.
Like the rest of his family, Louis is a trumpeter swan. But unlike his four brothers and sisters, Louis can’t trumpet joyfully. 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?
Louis’s adventures lead him to creative solutions for declaring his love for the Swan, Serena. This is a funny, yet touching read-aloud.
The Trumpet of the Swan joins E. B. White favorites Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little as classic illustrated novels that continue to speak to today’s readers.
