Episode Details

Tonight I will be reading the famous classic fairy-tale called The Ugly Duckling, by Hans Christian Anderson. A tale of a duckling who is discriminated by his family and fellow barnyard animals because he does not look like them. This tales leans towards the theme of bullying and discrimination and the importance of being true to yourself. May this storytelling help you drift off peacefully! Sweet dreamzzz...

Historical Note: This classic story reflects the traditional storytelling styles and cultural terminology of the era in which it was written. Because some vintage elements differ from modern perspectives, we recommend that parents and guardians preview the story first to determine if it is a good fit for their specific young listener. Thank you!
