I love the message of this book because as someone who feels like judgment is one of the main issues in the world, this classic story helps allow people to understand what to look for in people.
This book has a good message of not judging a person by the way they look and accepting a person for who they are. I like this book because of the message and I believe it is a very important one because people are always judging others.
This story would be great to use to teach students about the importance of being unique and also including each other in the classroom. Everyone is different and that is something that should be celebrated.
The drake has been a swan all along, though none had known it. And now all the beautiful swans were gathering about to welcome him.
The Ugly Duckling is a book about a duckling that was born different than its other siblings. The Ugly Duckling is a fairytale that teaches the lesson that it is okay to be different and important to be unique. The story is very flat with its characters and its adventures.
Quote:
“I shall fly near these royal birds, and they will peck me to bits because I, who am so very ugly, dare to go near them. But I don't care. Better be killed by them than to be nipped by the ducks, pecked by the hens, kicked about by the hen-yard girl, or suffer such misery in winter.“
Blurb:
This traditional literature can be used to talk about the effect of our words.
Review:
This is a folktale because of the flat characters and it came from the imagination of someone when they were telling the tale.
“Reflected in the still pool he saw many graceful hopes, with long necks and golden bills. Without thinking, he looked for his dull feathers and awkward, skinny neck. But no such thing was there. Instead, he beheld beneath him a beautiful sawn!”
This would be a great read for explaining to children that everyone has differences and we all shine in our own way.
The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen was published in 1999 and awarded a Caldecott metal in 2000. This picture book is a longer read with beautiful pictures. The book is about a duckling that is born and looks different compared to all the other ducklings. Because of this he is made fun of by his community and it makes him extremely sad. He gets left behind through the winter and realizes when he looks down he is the most beautiful one.
“And when he heard that, the swan knew that it was worth having undergone all the suffering and loneliness that he had.“ This quote shows how he persevered through life and how he know feels love for himself.
This book would be really good if it the words were more modernized. I think that this book could have a lot potential if it was revamped.
The Ugly Duckling by Jerry Pinkney. Picture Book. 1999. ALA Booklist Editor's Choice, American Bookseller Pick of lists, Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year, and A Smithsonian Notable Book. This is a classic tale that has great themes for any age. Some themes are not judging a book by it's cover, inner beauty etc. The illustrations in the book are very detailed and reflect the emotions of the duckling thoroughly.
The ugly duckling is about a duck who finds out that he is a swan. This story shows the struggle that it goes through and how it comes to learn the truth. Jerry Pinkney add a new element to the story through his beautiful illustrations. This classic story is great to include in the classroom when talking about the differences between people.
The ugly duckling is a traditional story adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. His illustrations that look almost painted are absolutely stunning and do an amazing job of telling the story. The story originally created by Hans Christian Andersen is re-told in this book in a way that honors the story but adds a new element.
“I would rather be killed by them than suffer any more cold and hunger and cruelty“
The lilacs bent their boughs down to the water before him and the bright sun was warm and cheering
This is an important message that we shouldn‘t judge a book by its cover. It is also important for children to know it is okay to be different and you are still important.
A mother duck lays her eggs and notices that one of her eggs looks different than the others, but she treats it just the same. All of the other ducklings hatch, and the largest egg hatches last. When the duck hatches, it comes out looking different than the others. As they go towards the water, other ducks make comments about the different duckling.
I like the moment at the end when the children say the ugly duckling is the best and the confidence the ugly duckling now has.
Jerry Pinkney does it again, although this time he adds in words to tell the story, the realistic pictures draw the audience into the story. I loved this version of the classic story as even with the realism the reader can feel the emotions of the characters.

The Ugly Duckling written by Hans Christian Andersen is a TL books that tells a story we have all heard before. When ducklings begin to hatch, one is born looking a little different from the others. His larger, different and uglier features make living life hard for this duckling. Will the duckling learn to love himself or listen to all the mean judgments castes upon him.
I had to recommend this TL book originally written by Hans Christian Anderson, now adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. We all know the classic story the ugly duckling goes through; feeling ostracized and different then his siblings because of his appearance.

This book has a very simple and direct plot so it is easy for children to follow. The theme the book is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and internal beauty is what defines you.
I really like this book and I appreciate it more while i'm older. I would use this in my classroom to show children that what really makes us special and great is what is within us.
I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.
I'd include this book but possibly debrief with my students that looks are not the most important thing about you.
“The Ugly Ducking“ by Jerry Pinkney, 1999. Traditional Literature. I said this book was so-so only because it sort of gives off the idea that looks are everything, which is definitely not true and not something I'd want my kids to think. Other than that, I thought the illustrations were beautiful and colorful and extend the story.
Just the great classic tale of of the ugly duckling but actually turns into a beautiful swan.
Such a great classic tale about not believing what other people think of you. I think this is such a cute story to read to kids and really embodies what traditional literature is all about.
I would use this book for children anywhere between first and fourth grade. This story shows kids that it is okay to be different. Sometimes the difference between you and another is what makes you special.
The Ugly Duckling is a tradition literature story that has a very sweet moral. The story is about a duckling that just does not fit in. The ugly duckling does not look like the others and is made fun of. This is because the duckling is no duckling at all, but a beautiful swan.
“I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.”
