From the publisher

A fairytale with a twist! In You’re Not Ugly, Duckling! Mother Duck is shocked to discover that one of her ducklings looks a little different to the rest. He’s large and grey, with a funny quack and an even funnier hair do! It’s not just Mother Duck who has noticed - poor Ugly Duckling is bullied by the other farm animals and his siblings too! Ugly Duckling decides to run away, but when he spots one of the farm animals in danger he rushes to the rescue. Are his actions enough to prove that you should never judge a book by its cover?
