This is a cute twisted version of the well know tale, The Ugly Duckling. Instead of a duck, it is a poor moose that finds its way to a duck nest. He is mistaken for one of the Mother Duck’s ducklings. The moose tries to swim and quack with his duck siblings. But when it came time to learn to fly, he was left behind. He wandered into the woods where he stumbled upon a moose and ends up living “happily ever after”.This book is filled with humor that I think any elementary age students will enjoy. I actually have done this story as a read aloud before and the kids just get a kick out of it. They love the parts when Mama Duck is trying to teach the moose to do “duck” things. This is a great book that should definitely be part of the library collection.
