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)
