White's Trumpet of the Swan, and saying, "Andy has no illusions about 'The Trumpet' and knows it is less good than 'Charlotte's Web' but we're glad the Times included it among the best eight juveniles of the year," mentioning Stuart Little and "Sendak's book," noting with pride that Roger Angell's book is also on the "Times Honor Roll," and saying that Andy has received many letters from parent of handicapped children in response to "Trumpet."
