Bestselling author
'A contemporary, lighthearted version of the "Ugly Duckling" tale.'
School Library Journal
A charming story about a little boy and his new pet ...
At the zoo, Jack steals an ostrich egg that's about to be fed to a snake, brings it home to his family's farm, and persuades a pair of geese to be its foster parents.
'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. Readers who have relished the antics of such memorable stars as Babe the Gallant Pig and his grandson Ace will fall in love with Oliver, the ugly gosling who wins the affection of almost everyone he meets.'
Publishers Weekly
'This gentle story will grace the author's long list of well-loved animal fantasies.'
