The Ugly Duckling

Pinkney, J., & Andersen, H. (1999). The ugly duckling. New York: Morrow
Junior Books.

For many generations, The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite. Jerry Pinkney's beautifully written adaptation brings the beloved story to many younger generations to come. The journey of the awkward little bird, courageously fending off hecklers and bullies, blooming into a graceful swan is a reminder that patience is a virtue and sometimes the path to true happiness. The beautiful watercolors create wonderful images of the story.
