This book is about a duck who gets made fun of because he looks different. Everywhere he goes different animals call him ugly. Then one day he sees the most beautiful bird he has ever seen, a swan. He hides from them because he doesn't want them to call him ugly like the others did. Then one day he discovers he is a swan and lives happily ever after. I love this story! It has an awesome message behind it. Not everyone is the same and we should not make fun of people because they are different. In the classroom I would read this book to the kids when we were learning about friendship or manners. I would also have them color their own ugly duckling and then color a swan. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The pictures are simple and colorful. Some the harsh adventures the duckling endures are not included, but that's OK.
Even though this is an easy reader book, the story is well written and doesn't feel dumbed down. There are some interesting touches. The mother notes that the duckling is not like the others; his siblings are the ones who therefore call him ugly. When other ducks tell him he is not a duck, he insists that he is: he does not want to be different; being like everyone else is more important than self actualization. He stumbles upon a group of swans who invite him to fly with them, but he is too young. Do they know he is also a swan? It isn't until the next spring that he has grown big and strong enough to fly with them. Even then, he assumes that they won't want him because he is ugly and a duck; he explains why they should reject him before they have a chance to not do so. They have to tell him that he is wrong on both counts. Does he ever learn to do things for himself and not merely to be accepted by others? ( )
