Elwyn Brooks White was a leading American essayist, author, humorist, poet and literary stylist and author of such beloved children's classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine. He authored over seventeen books of prose and poetry and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973.

White always said that he found writing difficult and bad for one's disposition.

Mr. White has won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, which commended him for making “a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”

I truly believed that it was extremely good.

Moreover, I also held the opinion that Louie was incredibly funny!

I had a great liking for the fact that the story revolved around swans.

This is because swans are highly unusual animals to write about.

They possess a certain elegance and grace that makes them stand out.

The way the author described the swans and their actions added an element of charm to the story.

It was refreshing to read a tale that focused on these magnificent creatures.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and would highly recommend it to others.

Forrest Gump is a remarkable and endearing character.

He is like a bird that soars freely through the sky, unburdened by the complexities and prejudices of the world.

His simple yet profound view of life allows him to see the beauty and wonder in everything around him.

Just as a bird flies without hesitation, Forrest follows his heart and his instincts, never wavering in his pursuit of happiness and love.

He faces numerous challenges and obstacles, but like a bird that navigates through stormy weather, he perseveres and overcomes them all.

Forrest Gump's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, kindness, and the ability to see the good in people and the world.

He is a true inspiration, reminding us all that we too can soar like a bird and achieve great things if we believe in ourselves and follow our dreams.

I can't believe I've never read this before! It was an absolute delight to buddy read it with my friends Jessica and Melissa for Middle Grade March 2023. I ended up listening to the full book on audio, narrated by the author himself, E.B. White. The addition of the trumpet notes and tunes throughout the story was truly wonderful, adding an extra layer of charm. White's storytelling through his voice worked extremely well too. His voice might not be flashy, but his deep love for his story and his characters shone through every word. And let's not forget his endearing New England accent. (I found myself unconsciously pronouncing words in my head just like he did!)

This story has a similar narrative structure to Charlotte's Web, but the characters, setting, and plot are entirely unique. It features a heartwarming animal-human friendship between Louis the Swan and Sam Beaver, which I adored. By the end of the story, Louis has become a well-traveled bird, and his evolution from a voiceless signet (baby swan) to a grown-up swan who has learned multiple ways to communicate is simply wonderful. His father, the Cobb, is quite a funny character as well, getting to have his own share of adventures.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a charming and engaging read. It's a story that will warm your heart and leave you with a smile on your face.

What a truly wonderful book this is!

I must admit, I feel a bit ashamed that I initially struggled to find any interest in even starting it. Now, being in my forties, this is my very first encounter with this precious gem. Fortunately, it was a read aloud session with my kids.

There is an abundance of things to love and appreciate in this children's classic. It encompasses various themes such as overcoming adversity, having good work ethics, being honest, showing perseverance, being unselfish, having honor, valuing family, experiencing love, and having trust, and so much more.

*Side note: I can't help but still be giggling about the Dad's long monologues.

*P.S. The audio version is simply WONDERFUL! I absolutely love the Brooklyn accent and the trumpet

So, there was a swan named Louis.

He had a big problem as he didn't have any voice.

To communicate, he went around with a slate.

Despite trying extremely hard, he just couldn't talk.

However, Louis managed to get a trumpet and a slate.

He also received a gold medal for saving someone's life.

And here's the interesting part, he got a money bag because his father stole the trumpet.

That's the story in a nutshell.

This book is truly a five-star one because I liked it a great deal.

My favorite part was when he broke in the door.

Then the owner of the store came after him.

But Louis managed to get the trumpet and went away.

I know it might seem like stealing, but after all, they are swans.

And how do swans get money? Well, Louis knows how.

If you want to find out the details, you should definitely read this book!

I have no idea how I managed to not read this as a kid. It's truly way more fun than Stuart Little. While it's not nearly as sad or as good as Charlotte's Web, it's almost as funny. Maybe it's even funnier, actually. Just like in Charlotte's Web, E.B. ends the book with a calm, beautiful, and somewhat embarrassing paragraph. This paragraph is so enchanting that I want to fall asleep under it. This time, I printed it off and taped it to my wall so that I actually can. You can too.

The story in this book is filled with adventure and charm. The characters are vivid and engaging. It takes you on a journey that is both entertaining and heartwarming. You'll find yourself laughing out loud at the antics of the characters and also being touched by their relationships.

If you haven't read this book yet, I highly recommend it. It's a wonderful read for both kids and adults. You can visit the link http://tymelgren.com/trumpet%20of%20t... to see the beautiful ending paragraph and add a touch of magic to your own space.

This audio is truly so much fun!

It is read by the author himself, which gives it a very personal touch.

What makes it even more special is that it includes real trumpet accompaniments.

The combination of the author's engaging reading and the lively trumpet music creates a unique and enjoyable experience.

We all found ourselves completely captivated by it.

It's the kind of audio that you can't help but listen to again and again.

Whether you're relaxing at home or on the go, this audio is sure to bring a smile to your face and brighten up your day.

So give it a try and see for yourself how much fun it can be!

I read this aloud to my 6-year-old and we both really enjoyed it!

This book is truly hilarious. We adored all the references to various animals. In fact, we even maintained a running list to look up and learn about them later.

Since I fell ill, we listened to the last several chapters on YouTube. This turned out to be a wonderful treat because it incorporated the trumpet sounds for the songs.

It added an extra layer of excitement and made the listening experience even more engaging. My 6-year-old was completely captivated and couldn't get enough.

We both found this book to be a great source of entertainment and learning. It not only made us laugh but also sparked our curiosity about different animals.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and educational read for their children.
