Description: |
Mother Duck doesn't notice when a strange egg appears in her nest. But a large and ugly duckling hatches out of it that is so different that all the other animals laugh and call him names. The duckling runs away from home but there is a happy ending when he finally grows into a beautiful swan. |
Synopsis: |
Once upon a time, a mother duck hatched seven eggs. The ducklings were pretty and yellow except the last one who was big, grey and scruffy. Tired of being teased, the ugly duckling ran out of the farm yard and away across the fields! In re-telling this familiar and well-loved tale, Jonathan Langley manages to remain faithful to tradition while investing both words and pictures with wit and exuberance. |
