Teased, chased and pushed aside by his friends and family, Ugly Duckling must run away from the pond and venture out on his own. Through the different seasons and new friends along the way, he continues his search for others who will love him for who he really is…an Ugly Duckling? The beloved story of the race between the tortoise and the hare is best known today for teaching the moral that “slow and steady wins the race.” From the creators of Darwin the Dinosaur, comes The Ugly Duckling & The Tortoise and The Hare: two classic tales championing the underdog brought to life through illumination, movement, and puppetry.
