The Uglified Ducky

The Uglified Ducky: A Maynard Moose Tale
by  Willy Claflin
August House, 2008

Summary:  In this delightful twist on the Ugly Duckling, Maynard Moose tells the tale of the moose who thinks he's a duck.  Hilariously told, it comes with a moose glossary.  Willy Claflin tells the tale on the accompanying audio-CD.  Winner of the 2010 Texas Bluebonnet Award.

Lesson:   Used to discuss self-esteem and believing in yourself. As I read, Students picked up on the bad grammar and started to correct Maynard, so I think it could also be used in a grammar editing unit.

Level:  PreK - 3rd
