A mother duck hatches a brood of ducklings. All are sweet little yellow babies — all but one, who is very large, very gray, and very ugly. The poor ugly duckling is teased and tormented by everyone he meets, even his own mother, brothers, and sisters. Driven from his home in the barnyard, the unhappy duckling wanders the world alone, suffering hardships, cruelty, and ridicule wherever he goes. This exquisite tale of rejection and redemption has been a favorite with children since its first publication in 1845. The hapless duck’s plight, and his ultimate triumph, is especially relevant in today’s image-conscious world.

L'anatroccolo Carlino è molto diverso dai suoi fratelli. Loro sono graziosi, con belle piumette soffici, lui è buffo, con il collo lungo e non piace a nessuno. La vita non è semplice per Carlino, gli abitanti dello stagno lo prendono in giro, e così, il piccolo anatroccolo decide di andarsene. Lo accompagna la sua amica, una zanzarina piccola piccola, ma con un cuore grande così!
