Review:

Praise for The Ugly Duckling (Hardcover Edition)
*"Braun adapts Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale with satisfying results. While many picture-book versions . . . are too long and linguistically dense for young children, this text presents the highlights of the story in a straightforward fashion and preserves the formal feel of the original . . .The expressive pictures . . . have careful lines and bold edges that give them the feel of woodcuts--an appropriate accompaniment for this timeless tale. The large format, combined with the bright, bold illustrations and simplified language, makes this ideal for storytime sharing." -School Library Journal (Starred Review)
