THE UGLY DUCKLING Hans Christian Andersen, retold by Stephen Mitchell
One glorious spring morning, a mother duck watches her ducklings hatch. Each is small and pretty, exactly what a duckling should be - except for one very large and very ugly duckling. Mocked by the other animals in the farmyard, the ugly duckling sets off to find somewhere he will fit in. And just when he's about to give up, he makes a surprising discovery - that being different isn't such a bad thing after all! Stephen Mitchell's witty text is paired with Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher's beautiful collage illustrations in this superb retelling of the classic story. 40pp, 254mm x 310mm, illus. in colour, hardback, 2008
