One of the best children's books out there. Not only tells an excellent story but also teaches children that one can do whatever one puts one's mind to.
On Nov 12 2004, Thebookhive said:
A classic book about a young boy and an injured swan that he teaches to play trumpet (because the swan can't trumpet). While the reader can't help but to learn empathy, this is an entertaining book for 8-12 year olds of both genders that they want to read several times.
