Fairy Tales Gone Wrong: You're Not Ugly, Duckling! by Neil Price (illustrator)

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 Tufty 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? A new twist on a classic tale, this re-worked fairytale with a moral is the perfect way to broach the sensitive yet important subjects of bullying, diversity, inclusivity and self-worth with young children.
