The Ugly Duckling is a great example of traditional children's literature. The story has been passed down for generations and will, hopefully, continue to be passed down for many more to come. Like the traditional version of this story, the duck (who turns out to be a beautiful swan) grows up being mistreated and mad fun of because he looks different than the other ducks. He has to endure a lot of mean treatment until he finally finds another duck that looks just like him, which turns out to be a beautiful swan. This version of The Ugly Duckling was much longer than a lot of the others I have read. That was fine though, because the children I read this too stayed interested and happy the entire read. It stuck to the main story and had lovely colorful illustrations. This story is good to teach children to be kind and always treat people how you would like to be treated. ( )

I have always enjoyed reading this book. It has great detailed words that make you feel like you are a part of the story. This story line behind the ugly duckling is that he never fit in with the duck family. He got separated from the farm and became best friends with two field mice. The ugly duckling went through many trials while growing up until he met the perfect match and was accepted into their family. ( )
