This graphic novel for young readers ages 5 to 7 updates the story of an ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan-but the odd duck out is actually a dragon!

It's the classic ugly duckling tale-but this time around, the little one turns out not to be a swan, but a dragon. And when their duckling siblings find themselves in trouble, it's our little fire-breathing friend who saves the day. Whereas Hans Christian Andersen's original is synonymous with inner beauty, Frank Cammuso's loving update turns it into a parable of inner strength.

Reviews for The Fire-Breathing Duckling: TOON Level 2

""A cute retelling of a classic story we know and love. Nort doesn’t look like a duckling, but his mother still accepts him as her own. But that doesn’t shake his feeling of wanting to understand WHAT he is. A silly and hopeful story about belonging and self-discovery!"" --Bookmarks, Winston-Salem, NC
