K-Gr 2—A unique take on the classic tale "The Ugly Duckling," this is a humorous story of friendship and self-acceptance, set in a dim sum restaurant. It follows a dumpling who doesn't look at all like the other dumplings in the restaurant. This dumpling (in actuality a steamed bun) is therefore "in a lonely only category. Of one. Uneaten and ignored." The dumpling meets a cockroach who looks past the dumpling's unusual appearance. They go on adventures throughout the restaurant, and the dumpling begins to feel accepted as it notices the beauty around it for the first time. The tables are turned when the diners spot the cockroach and the ugly dumpling comes to its friend's rescue. The minimal text meshes well with the illustrations and at times becomes a part of the action. For example, in a busy kitchen scene, the letters in "hiss" curl like steam from a wok and the letters in "thwak" seem to jump from the cleaver. This narrative moves quickly, and the cheerful visuals do as much to tell the story as the text does. VERDICT An amusing and fun addition for most collections.—Kimberly Tolson, Medfield Public Library, MA
Review
"A bright, multicultural twist on a classic tale. ... Specifically told without gendered pronouns, this is simply a story about love. Kober’s illustrations are characterized by delicious changes in perspective, and Campisi’s sly, humorous asides ensure that the message of identity is not heavy-handed ... Quirky retellings often lean on clever titles alone, but this surpasses and delights."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"The Ugly Duckling gets a makeover in this wacky tale about a misfit. ... the ultimate end, about accepting people because of their differences, adds an extra moral to this timeless tale. The bright illustrations are detailed and full of energy—never has food been so expressive!—and the concept is just odd enough to succeed."—Booklist
"A unique take on the classic tale 'The Ugly Duckling,' this is a humorous story of friendship and self-acceptance, set in a dim sum restaurant. ... This narrative moves quickly, and the cheerful visuals do as much to tell the story as the text does. An amusing and fun addition for most collections."—School Library Journal
"A simply delightful reminder in a time of unrest. A gentle calling of tolerance and acceptance. A wooing of kindness. ... Shahar Kober’s well-established talent produces a warm and inviting setting, with each illustration tethering the heart of the story to the mind of its reader."—Story Monsters Ink Magazine
"With an underlying message of valuing diversity and anti-bullying, The Ugly Dumpling is very highly recommended for preschool, elementary school, and community library collections." — Midwest Book Review
"Setting: Golden Swan, a dim sum restaurant. Of course!—because that’s where dumplings live! (And nodding to the original tale in the eatery’s name is pretty smooth.) Ingredients: a lonely, misunderstood dumpling and the cockroach who befriends it. (Yeah, this is one classy cockroach, another unexpected element to admire.) Favorite garnish: the expressions on the main character’s and other steamed buns’ faces. Flavor: clever, funny, and lively writing with undertones of deeper meaning. Yelp review: a story about seeing past appearances that will have you coming back for seconds."—This Picture Book Life (collaboration with Thirsty for Tea)
"Everyone loves the dumplings at the Golden Swan Chinese Restaurant, but no one wants the ugly dumpling of the title: it doesn’t look anything like the other pot stickers in the bamboo steamer, not even when it tries to wrinkle its brow or wear pleated pants (one of several excellent foodie jokes from debut author Campisi). ... From the wordplay of the premise to Kober’s (The Flying Hand of Marco B.) crisp pictures and Campisi’s easygoing sense of humor, it’s a story with plenty of promise."—Publishers Weekly
"Stephani Campus’s The Ugly Dumpling is a fresh and delectable dish-up of the classic Ugly Duckling story for a new audience. Stuffed with charm and off-beat humor, this tale of friendship and diversity embraces all who feel at odds with their environment—with or without the recognition of why. Its sweet and insightful ending emphasizes the idea that finding your niche does not always mean finding your true self and that having the courage to strike out on your own path leads to beautiful relationships and happiness." —Celebrate Picture Books
"In an effort to be as inclusive as possible to any and all readers, this book purposely omits the use of gender pronouns and features a diverse mix of characters in its vibrant spreads." —Travel Kids Club
"It is the character of the cockroach that makes this book really work. The addition of a friend to model self-esteem even if you are unique is crucial here and then for the tables to turn at the end of the story. The text is simple and straight-forward, making it a great book to share aloud with a strong story arc." —Waking Brain Cells
"...a unique, savory twist. Warmly tucked into those mouthwatering dumpling wrappers and soft buns is the meat of the matter: the importance of loyalty, friendship, embracing differences, developing self-esteem, standing up to peer pressure and bullying, and practicing tolerance."—Jama's Alphabet Soup
"What’s on the menu tonight at your local dim sum restaurant? Author Stephanie Campisi has served up a helping of fun with this clever retelling of the well-known childhood tale 'The Ugly Duckling'…"—Diapers & Daydreams
"The overall message of this picture book might be a little hard to grasp at first, but children will love the story and its emphasis on the beauty of individuality regardless, while parents will appreciate occasional bits of humor that will go right over the heads of children. Kober’s pictures are so cute that it’s almost hard to take; who could imagine that readers would so quickly fall in love with a normally hateable insect and a piece of food? This is a clever book that will fall easily into the rotation, enjoyable by readers of many ages."—San Francisco Book Review
"In this story, The Ugly Dumpling thinks it’s found happiness among its own kind but…maybe looking like everyone else doesn’t necessarily mean you’re like everyone else, on the inside, where it really counts. Sometimes our fillings are different and that’s okay. Friendship can come in the most unexpected ways and that is pretty beautiful."—Read It Real Good
"Parents, caregivers, and teachers, the teaching opportunities are endless: bullying, self esteem, cooking, peer pressure, friendship, travel ... There is so much to love about this book! ... It’s BEAUTIFULLY diverse."—An Unconventional Librarian
" It's a new twist on the age old tale that will have readers cheering for the unusual duo as they take on the world. ....The Ugly Dumpling reminds us that we are ALL special, ALL unique, and yet there is a place in the world where we belong despite what others may say or circumstances may lead us to believe."—Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
"The Ugly Dumpling teaches kids not only that it’s okay not to fit in, but encourages them to accept one another’s differences – celebrate them! – and reach out to anyone who may feel ostracized and alone. I can’t think of a kinder, more valuable message to teach our kids these days."—Mom Read It

"Campisi's prose ensnared me and Kober's illustrations wrapped me up in a blanket of whimsy and vibrant delight. ...

A book about friendship
By FlutterBug72
Dumplings..and steamed buns. Yum. Loved around our house. As a family who has been to China & has adopted one child & going for #2...this is a very sweet book about a "dumpling" and a cockroach who become friends. Very sweet book about friendship.
It's a rather short book with lots of pictures. More geared toward early elementary age, but a sweet story nonetheless.

Ugly Duckling retelling
By M. Tanenbaum
In this dumpling-themed retelling of the Ugly Duckling, set in a Chinese dim sum restaurant, a dumpling who is ugly, uneaten, and ignored, develops self-esteem with the help of a cockroach. Just like the ugly duckling discovers he is really a swan, the ugly dumpling discovers he's not a dumpling but a steamed bun, just like all the others. But when his friend the cockroach is found in the buns, the ugly dumpling discovers that perhaps he's not just like the other buns after all, and perhaps that's a good thing. A humorous story with a serious message of tolerance for diversity. Highly recommended.

Delightful story.
By kaye baillie
When I saw the trailer for this book, I wanted it. Reading the book was even better! I love the language, the twist on a beloved tale, the characters and also the unlikely friendship factor. It also has a very satisfying ending that makes me want to go back to the start and read it again and again. The illustrations are delightful and I love the colors used and the portrayal of the actions and characters. I absolutely recommend this book.
