pickThis 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.

pickThe 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.

“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.“
