2. Read it, discuss it and then log on here at our blog to place comments and give feedback. (You can place comments just by clicking below a post where it shows the number of comments or ‘No Comments’ is there aren’t any yet. Be the first!)
3. Pass it on to a friend, a family member or an aquaintance to enjoy or return it to a distribution spot for someone else to discover.

I really enjoyed this book. My favorite part was when Luis beat up the people who were trying to trim Serra’s flight feathers.
I am 8 years old and read it as part of an activity for my Girl Scout troop. We read Because of Winn Dixie as a troop too. I was the first to read the book and will get a pin for my vest. I still have my fist pin from the other book too. It is fun because after we all read it and all have the pin we will talk about it together.

What a lovely story. I had the pleasure of seeing a pair of trumeter swans when I visited Montana recently. They are everything you read about them in the book – beautiful, graceful, and a quiet grace as they fly high above. This is a book for all ages.

I just finished a delightful story pertaining to swans. I learned
what a cygnet is. I would recommend it to anyone who wants
a pleasant, entertaining light reading book for a change of pace.
