The delightful classic by E. B. White, author of Charlotte´s Web and Stuart Little, about overcoming obstacles and the joy of music. This edition features Fred Marcellino´s gorgeous illustrations in full color! Like the rest of his family, Louis isa trumpeter swan. But unlike his four brothers and sisters, Louis can´t trumpet joyfully. In fact, he can´t even make a sound. 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? \"We, and our children, are lucky to have this book.\" —John Updike
