The
Uglified Ducky
by Maynard Moose, as told by Willie Claflin
"The
Ugly Duckling" comes to the moose world in this hysterical story
told in "The Uglified Ducky" in book and on the CD inside!
Storytelling doesn't get more fun than this and the proof is that kids
and adults alike are stampeding to read and listen over and over to
Mayanard Moose tell his endearing story in his moosey dialect!
Illustrations
by James Stimson provide the perfect comic background for the story
of a baby moose who is found by Mommy Ducky. "Ooo, Look at that!
That is a uglified ducky!"
As
a companion book, you must have The Perfect
Wizard by Jane Yolen. Now you can read the biography of Hans Christian
Andersen who wrote the original story of "The Ugly Duckling"
in a beautiful picture book by Jane Yolen. At the bottom of each page,
you can see a snapshot of one of his stories, inspired by his childhood
and his struggles. Read about his determination to gain fame and the
long road to his genius being discovered. His fairy tales have lived
happily ever after in the hearts of children and kings for hundreds
of years. He was The
Perfect Wizard.
