Presenting Tanya, the Ugly Duckling

32 pp. | Philomel | May, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23200-1 $$16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Satomi Ichikawa. In this sixth book about the budding ballerina, Tanya struggles with the lead in the spring recital. The process of changing from being "only Tanya" to evolving into the role of a beautiful swan parallels in outline the plot of the fairy tale. Lyrical illustrations dominated by blues and whites complete the transformation for Tanya and the reader.
