Review:
'A contemporary, lighthearted version of the "Ugly Duckling" tale.' (School Library Journal)
'As usual, King-Smith provides a harmonious blend of poignant and rib-tickling scenes, in which human and animal characterisations are crafted with equal skill and originality.

(Publishers Weekly)
'This gentle story will grace the author's long list of well-loved animal fantasies.' (School Library Journal)
