- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome read-aloud re-telling of The Ugly Duckling with a baby moose taking the swan's place. Great illustrations and an excellent message.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I’ve always enjoyed the story of “The Ugly Duckling”, so I decided to give this version a try. I enjoyed Claflin’s version very much. The point of the story remained the same. Anyone who has ever felt out of place or ugly should know they were not ugly, but were beautiful and would one day find out where they were meant to be. I love how when you read the words you imagine a goofy moose saying them in your head (fambly for family and demember for remember). The illustrations were silly to match the tone of the story. I would definitely recommend this version of the classic tale.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book because its big idea sent across a good message. The big idea in this book was to never let anyone tell you that you’re ugly and to be confident in your skin. They used a childish language throughout this book that young children could really relate to. For example, the author wrote the text how children sometimes say words before they learn how to say them correctly. In the text it said, ‘the first thing I notice about this ducky is it gots four foots.” “Gots” is incorrect grammar, as is “foots”, but this is how a young child speaks, so I think the author did a great job connecting to children. This books plot really helped the story flow. The uglified ducky got lost from her home, was raised by a ducky, and then finally found her home with the moose. The author used a progressive plot, because he introduced the characters; the uglified ducky, the mother ducky, and her babies. Also, you knew right away what the conflict was going to be, that the uglified ducky was not actually ugly, he was just in the wrong “fambly” (how the book wrote ‘family’). Then, finally the conflict was resolved and the conclusion was reached. The big idea really makes this book apply to children of all ages. This was a childish book but it has such a huge meaning behind it, and that is what I really enjoyed about this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was simply adorable! A library user recommended I listen to this audio, as she and he kids giggled at the reader's performance, and she was right! It's funny and silly, without losing the Ugly Duckling story of loving who you are.Highly recommended!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Picture look funny, cute animal not so realistic, mixture of real animal and cartoon version. Color is alright, but have so many big words to discover. Very easy understand. Look funny. the art look bright and very pretty. Disclaime, angry and happy about a moose got mixup in a duck family. At the end he found out who he really is.
