This is a fun and unique story within a story. It starts as “The Ugly Duckling,” but then the story gets an interesting visitor. A crocodile makes his way into the story and cannot seem to figure out how he is supposed to fit. It was hilarious to watch the ugly duckling interact with the crocodile. I think that students are really going to enjoy the surprise and mystery of the story line.
