“He was no longer a clumsy, gray bird, ugly and unwanted. He was a swan.”
pickThe Ugly Duckling written by Jerry Pickney is considered a fairy tale. This story is a literary fairy tale because it includes a simple story structure, a clear moral lesson and animals talking. This story teaches morals such as acceptance, personal growth and the idea that true beauty comes from within.
Such a sweet book from my childhood.

Sietje‘s just here to show off her new blue socks.
My salon closed for a few days so we could all go to the grooming convention in Atlanta, and we were inspired to dye all of our own dogs to push our color line to our clients. Sietje was a great guinea pig, but she‘s willing to do just about anything for treats.

Soon he was writing stories about Gertie nearly every day. People came to the bridge just to peer over the railing and catch a glimpse of her.”
This would be a cute little book to add to a classroom library. I think it would also make a good lesson to introduce tough topics such as World War II to the class.
