Resumen del Editor

Louis is a Trumpeter Swan, but he has no voice. Though he is frightened when his father explains to him that he is different from the other cygnets, Louis is resourceful and determined. Leaving his wild and beautiful home, he finds a young human friend, Sam Beaver, who helps him learn to read and write. When he returns to the lake, Louis discovers his education isn't enough: the beautiful swan he loves, Serena, can't read his declarations of love, and he can't trumpet them. Louis' resolution to win the swan of his desire launches him on an adventure that will take him far from home and lead where fate and love have a few surprises in store.

With humor and lyric beauty, E.B. White tells a timeless tale of love, courage, and freedom that will capture the imagination of every listener.

A little old fashioned

It's entertaining and cute and funny. I didn't like the head man at the zoo. He seemed unreasonable.

CAPTIVATING for my 9,11, and 13 year old

Kept our attention with humor and action. Very enjoyable. Encourages the imagination with a great storyteller to boot!

Love the New England accent

The story starts off slow, but takes a surprisingly absurd and wonderful turn. All kids should get to enjoy this. I especially love the author's voice.

E.B. White is a delight to listen to!

This is a beautiful, remarkable book, and a very well-written story, for both children and adults. I have read it to classrooms full of children who were all riveted and listened to this for my own enjoyment. I love the author's narration, he has a great voice and timing. Give it a few chapters for the story to really take off. Highly recommended.

Great interesting story

The author is the narrator who’s voice doesn’t really fit the story but does well enough for us to enjoy the book.

Good story

I liked the real trumpet music in the background and haveing it played & the story

My favorite

I first heard this story in the 3rd grade when my teacher read it to our class. We listen to this story each year in my classroom now. The students love it almost as much as I do. No one can tell it like EB White.

Review by 10 year old and 7 year old

This story was interesting, great, and exciting. It had everything you want in an audiobook. We got caught up in the story and enjoyed all the different emotions the characters experienced like humor, happiness, gratitude, love, and affection. We rooted for Louis to find true love and succeed in his plans. We enjoyed listening to this book so much we want to listen to it again.

The extraordinary adventure of Louis the swan 🎺🦢

This book made me rave for the next part of the story every chapter. Time flew by and hours felt like minutes. Also the story felt more improved because it was read by the author.
