"He had short fat brown legs, a long thin beak, hairy brown feathers, and tiny little stubs where his wings should be.
The Pukeko parents looked at each other and shook their heads. What an odd looking chick!"
When a pukeko finds an egg lying on the ground he thinks it is his but when all the eggs hatch one of the new chicks looks very different. Never feeling like he fits in the strangle little chick goes on a journey to find his place in the world.
New Zealand's favourite icon features in this retelling of the The Ugly Duckling.
