Momma duck laid a lot of eggs hoping for her future ducklings
1-day. The eggs cracked & they started to pop out.
1 of them was different than the others.
But guess what it swam better than the others.
Momma duck started to show off all her new ducklings to the other fowl.
Down & out the ugly duckling escaped from the pen.
What happened to him?
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation (emotions), movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

This is the HC. Andersen story retold and illustrated. It goes much as you would expect but I was a little thrown off by the ending. I'm always expecting this fairytale to teach children that it's wrong to mock people for being different, but that's not really what happened here. The last line is, "The swans swam with him, praising his beauty. It's not terrible to be born in a duck's nest if you came from a swan's egg." Wait, what? It would be terrible to be born in a duck's nest if you were a duck?
