Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
This is a delightful book that will tug at your emotions. Joe and Jean Duck yearn for a baby duckling.
"Every night, they wished and they hoped and they prayed for a fuzzy-wuzzy, cuddly-wuddly, darling baby duckling."
One very special night, one very special delivery arrives. It is an egg and it is ugly-wugly. None-the-less they are ecstatic over its arrival and they carefully nurture it until the egg cracks. What emerges is not quite what the endearing couple expects. Out springs a hairy paw, two flip-flop ears and a wrinkled snout... and the sound "WOOF!"
Joe and Jean are extremely surprised but they love the little guy so much and call him John. They believe that perhaps one day John will grow into a beautiful swan.
John wants so much to fit in with the other chicks but he is ridiculed and teased by the others. He is totally unaccepted. Then one day everything changes and John becomes the hero, the superhero supreme, revered highly by the other peeps around him. How did that happen?
This fun story is about being true to yourself and accepting your uniqueness as beautiful. This is a twisted tale of the classic story "The Ugly Duckling." John is adorable and you instantly fall in love with him. The book is inspiring and everyone ( both young and old ) enjoys a happily every after story. The illustrations are colourful, expressive and spot on enhancing the narrative. I highly recommend " The Pugly Duckling."
