A fabulous retelling of the Ugly Duckling by respected children’s author Penny Dolan in which a family of ducklings are all born a little bit strange except for one called Beauty! Hopscotch Twisty Tales combine carefully controlled text levels and word counts with highly entertaining and original stories, perfect for children starting to read independently.

It was a fun book to read. My favourite part was when the farm animals played a joke on the yellow duckling. I liked when the lovely duckling cracked out of his shell

Beauty was always looking lovely but she also had fun, is not a real story and yes I’d recommend this book to Sidney.

This book took my daughter through lots of emotions, but she loved the book and read it again. Good read for 5 year olds to read themselves.

I liked that he turned into a swan. I liked the ugly duckling best because he is kind. Yes I would recommend it.

I liked that everyone in the farm yard liked her but nobody liked the other ducklings - they were very jealous.

Beauty's mum wants her to look good and this upsets all her brothers and sisters. I liked this book because she wasn't the best at everything but she always tried her best.
