What is The Ugly Duckling about?

When Mother Duck's eggs hatch, one duckling looks different from the rest—he's bigger and scruffier. Teased and shunned by the other animals, the 'ugly' duckling embarks on a journey to find where he truly belongs. This beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic fairy tale is perfect for children beginning to read on their own, offering a heartwarming story of self-discovery and acceptance.
