For over one hundred years The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite, and Jerry Pinkney`s spectacular new adaptation brings it triumphantly to new generations of readers. With keen emotion and fresh vision, the acclaimed artist captures the essence of the tale`s timeless appeal: The journey of the awkward little bird -- marching bravely through hecklers, hunters, and cruel seasons --- is an unforgettable survival story; this blooming into a graceful swan is a reminder of the patience often necessary to discover true happiness. Splendid watercolors set in the lush countryside bring drama to life. 2X2 Reading List (TLA) 2000 Notable Children`s Books (ALA), 2000 Caldecott Honor Book Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
