The Ugly Duckling

(4) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Robert Ingpen. In this handsome edition of one of Andersen's best-known stories, the familiar text about the shunned duckling who becomes a beautiful swan has been smoothly translated, and Ingpen's rich illustrations are full of texture and show unusual insight into the animal world. Unfortunately, on some pages the narrow-margin text is a bit difficult to read against the illustrations.
