Continuing Isadora’s series of European fairy tales placed in African settings, this picture book retells Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling,” simplifying the story for a younger audience. Scorned by “the animals on the farm” (depicted as African wildlife), the ugly duckling runs away and almost freezes when snow and ice cover the land. In this version of the surprise ending, the Ugly Duckling turns into a black swan (a species native to Australia). The cut-paper-collage illustrations are colorful and dynamic. Though there’s plenty about the adaptation for adults to discuss and criticize, many young children will find this vividly appealing. Preschool-Grade 1. --Carolyn Phelan
