Book Reviews of The Trumpet of the Swan
Book Review: My favourite children's book
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone has a story from childhood that they remember and sometimes revisit. This little gem is EB White's lesser known work compared to Charlotte's Web or Stuart Little but no less powerful. It is touching and strong because it there is no bad guy, no evil character or even a protagonist, just about Louis the swan and how he overcomes his mute handicap with the support and love of his family and friends, growing up and finding love as he does so. White does it amongst the backdrop of an America that is still innocent but familiar to children and lovers of wildlife alike.I felt for Louis and loved his character and even now can only imagine a grand old swan with his mate flourishing a trumpet.
