This book is about a male swan who falls in love with Dora, a boat in the shape of a swan. His love for Dora is quite interesting and he does anything to be with her. This book teaches a good lesson on how love is blind. I think it is a really cute book, and would read it to my students.
Swan in Love is about an everlasting love, about never giving up on love no matter what anyone else thinks.This swan was in love with a boat shaped like a swan named Dora. The swan loved her even if everyone thought he was crazy. Swan would stay with Dora through everything even in the coldest winters, he never left the boats side. As time passed the boat and the swan got older and the boat was going to get destroyed because it was to old. This made the swan feel very sad and he laid next to her.The swan had gone to another place which felt like a dream flowing somewhere else with Dora. Love let them be together at the end, maybe not in this life but in the next. This story will make you feel the love of the swan for the boat. I loved show more this book it shows you the true meaning of love. show less
This book was definitely not one of my favorites. It talks about a swan who loves a swan boat even though it is different from her (it wasn't real). All the other animals of the river make fun of her for that. This is a good book because it deals with acceptance, but I do not think students would enjoy it very much because it is very sad at the end. It is also a good book for the topic of love.

I thought this was a cute little book about a swan in love with a boat that looks like a swan. Not one of my favorites but children may enjoy it.
