The best person is mother swam because the baby was alone. I would recommend this book to someone else.

I wouldn't recommend it to others. I didn't like the story. I liked the silly duckling the best.

There is a ugly little swan that does not know that it is a duckling. At the end it is a duck with a yellow green head white feathers, brown and yellow beak. He was so happy to be a duck
