The Trumpet Of The Swan
Louis the swan cannot speak like “normal” swans (note that the book comes from before the time of political correctness, and it shows). He uses his disability to his advantage, traveling outside the scope of the typical swan’s realm and having many adventures and opportunities as a result.
This engaging tale uses humor (I find the old cob’s mannerisms quite amusing) to tell the story of a “misfit” successfully making his own way. It is refreshing to see character and good intentions throughout the story.
Do you think Louis’ life would have been the same if he could have spoken?
If you were Louis, would you have made the same arrangement with the zookeeper regarding your cygnets?
What would you have done with the extra money if you were the music store owner?
