Hans Christian Andersen's duckling spends the story being told he does not fit, and the ending has kept its power because the change is in what others see rather than in what he does. This edition adds pop-up scenes to the telling.
Paper engineering lifts key moments off the page, giving a child something to look at and handle as the story moves. The hardcover binding is built for the repeated opening and closing that pop-up books invite, and the retelling is kept short enough for a bedtime reading. Self-confidence, kindness and patience are the ideas a young listener takes away, and the interactive pages make them easier to sit with.
Where it fits on a shelf:
• Andersen's classic tale of a duckling who does not resemble the others
• Pop-up scenes that rise from the page at key moments
• Hardcover construction intended to survive regular handling
• A retelling short enough for a single bedtime session
For preschool and early primary children and for adults choosing an interactive gift book. Available in English at Boipoka.
