{"product_id":"the-uglified-ducky-with-cd-willy-claflin-9780874839531","title":"The Uglified Ducky [With CD (Audio)]","description":"Another hilarious Maynard Moose tale by award-winning author, Willy Claflin. You may think you know the classic story of the Ugly Duckling, but think again. In the capable hands of his alter ego Maynard Moose, renowned storyteller Willy Claflin, takes us on a wacky journey where this Uglified Ducky, a hapless young moose \"blunders away\" from his home, is mistaken for a baby duck, and endures endless humiliation as he tries to learn to waddle, quack, swim, and fly. Eventually, he finds his true \"fambly,\" who helps him discover his own beauty. In his fractured \"Moose\" English, translated in the glossary at front, Maynard relays a surprisingly tender story that echoes the original tale's theme of the struggle to belong and discover your true self. The Uglified Ducky's quest is playfully but sympathetically interpreted in James Stimson's luminous, droll gouache illustrations. This fractured fairytale will teach young readers about the importance of courage, respect and community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Willy Claflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087483953X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874839531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e August House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.56w x 0.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e123646 \/ Uglified Ducky: A Maynard Moose Tale\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Willy Claflin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926714941695,"sku":"9780874839531","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ccfc4e61-1a99-450b-9e5a-3785a9946c2d.jpg?v=1681084605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-uglified-ducky-with-cd-willy-claflin-9780874839531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
