This version of ''The Ugly Duckling'' is as good as any other when considering purchasing a classic fairy tale, but it just does not have anything to recommend it over another. It will do the job of informing your young toddler about a particular unkempt duck, but they will soon want to move on to more challenging fare.
If you are on the lookout for some fairy tales, then a compendium will get you more bang for your buck; [[The Orchard Book of Bedtime Fairy Tales by Helen Craig]], or perhaps you are interested in one of those books that twists the tales – [[Nibbles: The Book Monster by Emma Yarlett]]. You might also appreciate [[Beauty and the Beast by Ursula Jones and Sarah Gibb]], [[The Golden Goose by Roberta Angeletti]] or [[Beauty and the Beast by Katie Haworth and Dinara Mirtalipova]] for slightly older children.
