I read this book with my boys.

They absolutely adored Charlotte's Web. It was like a magical world that captured their hearts completely.

However, Stuart Little wasn't quite as captivating for them. Maybe it was the different storyline or the characters that didn't resonate as strongly.

And currently, we have just embarked on Trumpet of the Swan. I took the time to read the book myself before sharing it with my boys.

Doing so brought back a flood of memories of my own elementary school days when I read about Charlotte and Stuart.

These books are all filled with fun and exciting stories about extraordinary animals. They do things that are simply impossible in the real world but are made possible within the realms of our imaginations.

It's truly a wonderful experience to share these classic tales with my boys and watch their eyes light up with wonder and excitement.

This book is about a girl who has a deep love for animals, especially her pig. She lives with her dad on a farm.

As you progress through the story, there is a crucial part where her dad decides to sell the pig at a festival. The girl pleads and begs her dad not to sell the precious pig.

The fateful day arrives, and the festival commences. Someone purchases the pig. However, the pig endures a terrible time with its new owner. Despite this, the pig's love for the girl remains unwavering.

It makes friends with some spiders, but that fails to bring true happiness. So, it decides to escape and unfortunately gets lost. During this time of being lost, it longs to return to the girl's farm and has several interesting experiences along the way.

Finally, the pig manages to see the girl again, and it is overjoyed for the second time. This heartwarming story shows the special bond between the girl and her pig and the lengths the pig will go to be with its beloved owner.

The book that was chosen from this slip-covered collection was Trumpet of the Swan. My children, who are up to the age of 14, really enjoyed it.


It came as a pleasant surprise to me because I had never read this humorous tale by E. B. White before. One of the characters in the story was quite exaggerated, but it made us all laugh a lot.


There is no doubt that this book will be read again in the future. It has become a favorite among my children and I can see why. The story is engaging, the characters are memorable, and the humor is just right for their age group. I would highly recommend Trumpet of the Swan to anyone looking for a fun and entertaining read for their children.

The really cool thing about having kids is that it gives you the wonderful opportunity to re-read all those amazing stories that you adored when you were a child.

I read this particular book to my kids during the Christmas break in 2006. They absolutely LOVED it. In fact, just last night, my son asked me if I could re-read it to them again over the summer. I happily said that we could.

This book is truly special as it teaches children about important values such as self-confidence, hope, and friendship. But you know what? It doesn't just teach these things to children. It actually has valuable lessons for everyone. It shows us the importance of believing in ourselves, having hope in difficult times, and nurturing true friendships. It's a book that can touch the hearts of people of all ages and leave a lasting impact.

I'm really looking forward to re-reading it to my kids again over the summer and sharing those precious moments with them.

I somehow never read this book.

It's truly a good story.

Moreover, it's especially fun to hear the author read it.

The book was written around 1970 when I was a teenager.

However, it seems more old-fashioned than that era.

I think it has some wording that wouldn't be acceptable or used in the same way today.

Perhaps the language has evolved, and certain expressions or phrases that were common then now seem outdated or inappropriate.

Despite this, the story itself still holds some charm and interest.

It makes me wonder how the perception of the book might have changed over the years.

Maybe if I had read it when it was first published, I would have had a different perspective.

Nonetheless, it's still worth considering giving it a try to see if I can appreciate it for what it is.

Contrary to popular opinion, I firmly believe that The Trumpet of the Swan was by far the best among the three books.

Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web were indeed good books, with their own unique charm and engaging stories. However, The Trumpet of the Swan stood out in a remarkable way.

The story of Louis, the trumpeter swan, was not only heartwarming but also filled with adventure and self-discovery. The author's vivid descriptions brought the characters and the settings to life, making it a truly immersive reading experience.

It's a pity that this wonderful book doesn't receive more recognition. It deserves to be widely read and appreciated for its literary value and the valuable lessons it imparts.

Perhaps if more people were to give it a chance, they would also come to realize just how great The Trumpet of the Swan truly is.

My favorite book was The Trumpet of the Swan.

This wonderful story captured my imagination from the very beginning.

The characters in the book were so vivid and engaging.

There was Louis, the swan who couldn't make a sound, but found a way to communicate through playing the trumpet.

His determination and courage in the face of difficulties were truly inspiring.

The adventures that Louis and his friends went on were full of excitement and danger.

I found myself on the edge of my seat, eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next.

The Trumpet of the Swan also taught me important lessons about friendship, love, and perseverance.

It showed me that no matter how hard things may seem, there is always a way to overcome them.

This book will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to recommend it to others.

I truly love this!

For a long time, I have always desired to have a beautiful copy of Charlotte's Web for my children. And I was overjoyed when I discovered this wonderful collection of works by E.B. White.

This particular copy has definitely been read numerous times. It shows signs of wear and tear, which only adds to its charm.

The pages are slightly yellowed, as if they have witnessed countless bedtime stories and cozy reading sessions.

I can just imagine the smiles on my kids' faces as they delve into the magical world of Charlotte's Web and other captivating tales by E.B. White.

This collection is not just a book; it's a precious treasure that will be passed down through generations, bringing joy and inspiration to all who read it.

I am so grateful to have found this gem and can't wait to share it with my family.

Without a doubt, I am going to end up reading it once more some time soon. I long to revisit the pages and experience the emotions and adventures all over again.

This book holds a special place in my heart, and I know that each time I read it, I will discover something new and gain a deeper understanding of its beauty and significance.

This was one of my most adored books of my childhood, right along with Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little.

For some reason, nobody seemed to have seen the screen adaptation that came out a few years ago. I heard it wasn't too good anyway.

However, it is truly a shame that more children are not being exposed to this touching and beautiful story.

The book holds a special place in my heart, filled with wonderful characters and a plot that can capture the imagination of any child.

It teaches valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and perseverance.

I believe that every child should have the opportunity to read this book and experience the magic within its pages.

Maybe one day, a new and better adaptation will be made, bringing this beloved story to a whole new generation of children.

Until then, we can only hope that more parents and teachers will discover this gem and share it with the children in their lives.
