It is a classic fairy tale which promises to enchant young readers and their parents alike. This is more than simply a story about an animal, duck or waterfowl. It is a story of the bravery, steadfastness, and ultimate triumph of an apparently small, ugly duckling over his misfortune. The Ugly Duckling reminds us that after every hardship awaits ultimate triumph. Whoever we may be!
