Seriously Silly Colour #12: The Ugly Duck Thing Award-winning author by Laurence Anholt (author)

There was once a mummy duck who laid six eggs. But when they hatched, one of the ducklings was definitely not a duck! Quack! The Ugly Duck Thing is as big as a yack! Can he find a home where he will be king of the pack? A seriously silly, laugh-out-loud funny retelling of a favourite fairy tale, in vibrant full colour. This subversive version of a traditional tale will make even the most reluctant reader hoot with glee. More seriously, it’s also an easy way to start comparing texts and thinking about their messages and perspectives.
