{"product_id":"the-sissy-duckling-9780689835667","title":"The Sissy Duckling","description":"Elmer is not like the other boy ducklings. While they like to build forts, he loves to bake cakes. While they like to play baseball, he wants to put on the halftime show. Elmer is a great big sissy. \u003cbr\u003e But when his father is wounded by a hunter's shot, Elmer proves that the biggest sissy can also be the greatest hero. \u003cbr\u003e Acclaimed actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein has crafted a heartwarming story, based on his award-winning HBO animated special, about learning to embrace the special qualities we all possess. Henry Cole's gently humorous illustrations give it a new vitality. This is a book to share with all children, to help them understand that each one of them is unique and valuable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689835667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.69h x 10.83w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/25\/2002 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2002 pg. 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1721\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 401\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Childrens Fall02\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2002 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 327 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2002 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 327 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e59571 \/ Sissy Duckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Harvey Fierstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51445607399605,"sku":"9780689835667","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1fd0c00a-b3ea-4995-b352-5c819307b87e.jpg?v=1753799172","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-sissy-duckling-9780689835667","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
