TRUMPET OF THE SWAN by E. B. White

This book is about a mom and dad trumpeter swan that laid five eggs.  After all the eggs hatched, each baby swan could talk.  Except one named Louis.  The story is about a swan that grows up with no voice.  His dad steals a trumpet so the baby swan can make noise.  But Louis is in debt and needs to pay back for the trumpet his father stole.  

My favorite part of the book is when Louis goes to a camp with his person friend, Sam.  During a camp day, a skunk appears at the camp with a soup can stuck on his head.  Sam gets a fishing pole and gets the can off the skunk head.  The skunk, frightened, sprays its stinky gas at Sam and he gets all smelly!

I would recommend this book to all animal lovers.
