\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An upbeat Christmas outing with a touch of kindness and a relatable story\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this ugly duckling retelling, Northcutt blends lyrical, free-verse text and delightful illustrations to form a fun-filled holiday tale that celebrates diversity, understanding, and acceptance. Ugly, the friendly but tattered moose, is excited to join others on a snowy trip through the woods to Momma and Poppa Bears\u2019 house for a Christmas eve party. But Ugly is too big to get inside the house and be a part of the celebration. When everyone realizes Momma and Poppa Bears forgot to bring a Christmas tree, Ugly offers a brilliant solution, earning himself a new name and the group\u2019s respect. This inspiring Christmas story will speak to those who get excluded from groups solely because of their unflattering physical attributes. Northcutt\u2019s dialogue is age-appropriate, and the short, rhyming prose establishes a cheerful tone, beautifully conveying the holiday spirit. The vibrant colors and expressive animal faces give the illustrations an engaging energy. A sweet, sparkling Christmas story that makes for a valuable addition to the holiday shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
