Another good book from childhood. I remember enjoying this one when I was young, but I had forgotten the majority of the story. This time around, I listened to the audiobook as read by the author. I highly recommend this for young readers as the inclusion of actual trumpeting was a pleasant surprise. The story was endearing and written in true E.B. White style, including natural references, definitions of some of the more challenging words for middle grade readers, and some arithmetic instruction sprinkled in. Though I don't love it as much as White's Charlotte's Web, this was still a fantastic reread. A nostalgic wonder.
