The joyous tale of Louis, a trumpeter swan in search of his voice.

Stuart Little, the Little's second son, looks very much like a mouse--he has whiskers, a long tail, and is only a little more than two inches tall. Dapper, elegant, and heroic, Stuart is content with his life in New York City, a dangerous yet exciting place for a mouse. Then he meets Margalo, a pretty bird whom the Littles had found half-dead on their doorstep and revived. When Margalo leaves without telling anyone, Stuart sets off in a little car to search for the love of his life.

White, Is Sex Necessary? combines the humor and genius of both authors to examine those great mysteries of life -- romance, love, and marriage. A masterpiece of drollery, this 75th Anniversary Edition stands the test of time with its sidesplitting spoof of men, women, and psychologists; more than fifty funny illustrations by Thurber; and a new foreword by John Updike.

Featuring full-color illustrations from the movie, the classic story of Louie, a swan who finally discovers his voice, is brought to life in this charming chapter book. Original.

The early-twentieth-century writer pays tribute to the Model T Ford, describing its unique qualities and imperfections, and the exhilaration of driving the automobile across America as a young man.

Louis, a young trumpeter swan, is born mute. His mother is concerned--how can Louis sing "koh-hoh" to a female swan and let her know he loves her? Louis's father flies to a store and steals a trumpet for Louis, and the young swan soon becomes a master trumpeter and a celebrity in the human world. His fame earns him money to pay for the stolen trumpet, and his beautiful music helps him win the love of his life, the beautiful swan, Serena.

A collection of some of the best humor found in American literature including satires, fables, poems, and parodies.
