Book Review of The Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling
annalovesbooks avatar reviewed on


ISBN 072145304x - A little harsh-seeming to some adults, I still think this is an awesome teaching opportunity for kids AND a cute book. Sure, the little guy is told he's ugly and chased from everywhere he goes... but there's the moment when the mother duck says "I love you anyway", the farmer who takes him in, and the moment he realizes he's a swan!

This particular version (ISBN 072145304x) has an added bonus, with "picture-word matching" - small illustrations that match to bold text, and a great chance to start little ones on their way to recognizing written words.
