The problem with this book it is not either the American nor the Mexican Spanish version of the story. The basics are there with one solid exception, the ugly duckling does not grow up to be a beautiful swan. The swans just say "you are one of us" and it is over. The transformation is missing is merely a story of acceptance but to us the transformation is a key part of the story. We are returning this book and will try to find a better version.
The message in this version of The Ugly Duckling is horrible! Basically, it starts with a commotion in the pond because a grey duckling hatches among the yellow ducklings. All the animals admired the beautiful yellow ducklings, except for the one DIFFERENT looking duckling. So, the beautiful yellow ducklings shun and shame the grey duckling and eventually run him out of their area, and while he is sad and lonely and wandering by himself, he happens upon a bunch of Swans who tell him that he's one of them. Then, peace returns to the meadow. So basically they are promoting bullying and segregation. When was this written, 1946?
I remembered this story really differently as a kid -- or this version is really different than the one I had as a kid. I remembered a story that taught kids it's OK to be different. I ordered this book and read it to my son (who loves ducks). This book ended by essentially saying that in order to be happy, you should only spend time with people who look like you. We will not continue reading this to my son.
The story is not complete this very no joke the truth but my son if I liked positive it this esque this good for children who are beginning to read comes with very simple words so this understandable for them comes in Spanish and English illustrations are simple but good to my point of view feel that this book is good for a child of 3 to 4 years
The moral of this book (it is not the classic story)- was stick to your kind and everyone will be happy. I took it as a racist book. Very poor teachings, as soon as I read it I threw it away. Loss of $ but never do I ever want my child to think that way.El moral de éste libro (no es la historia clásica)- fue mantente con los de tu clase y todos serán felices. Yo lo tome como un libro de racismo. Con muy pobre aprendizaje, cuando leí el libro lo tire a la basura. Fue perdida de $, pero nunca deso que mi hijo piense de esa forma.
The book arrived on time.The english and the spanish translation makes sense.Does not have the detail story.Get if if you want a light version of the real story.I would not recomment to buy it.
Great translations and easy to read. I got these for my 5 year old to help him practice his English and Spanish reading. The stories are easy and fun and the pictures are great.
Such a sweet story , my daughter loves reading it and I love that we get to practice our bilingual skills. Also Grandma gets to help her with her Spanish .
