Arnold of the Ducks by Mordicai Gerstein

onceuponacarm's review against another edition

4.0

The Ugly Duckling crossed with Mordecai's true story The Wild Boy, with some extra whimsy thrown in. A story about mothers' love, human adaptability, and finding where you belong.

i read this out loud and when i got to the sad bit i got all choked up and it was very dramatic. it's so good and sweet and sad and funny and good.

One could argue that all of these adventures have been within the confines of Arnold's back yard. Perhaps he has only been playing at being kidnapped by pelicans and raised by ducks. Perhaps his wings really are only collected feathers and mud, and thus the bath is the natural end to a long, creative day of play.

I don't know. Thoughts?

Dear parents everywhere; if your child has the opportunity to become a duck -including knowing how to fly- get out of your child's way and let them be a duck.
