I need some help: Is it insulting to give the children's book The Ugly Duckling as a baby shower gift?

Ruth said...: I wouldn't be insulted. It's a classic story, and absolutely everybody has felt like the Ugly Duckling at one time or another, right?; October 29, 2006 at 1:59 PM

Anonymous said...: i'm thinking along the same lines as ang... pre-baby - ok... post-birth - may lead to negative interpretation...; October 30, 2006 at 2:58 PM
Ruth said...: If you're concerned about it, just get something else - there are plenty of great children's books.; October 30, 2006 at 4:20 PM
Bridget said...: Good advice. It's pre-baby. And I loved it as a kid so I bought it. Then, on thinking about it again, wondered if it was appropriate.; October 30, 2006 at 5:10 PM
