The ugly five - Julia Donaldson

The funny and joyful picture book from the number one
bestselling author and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Stick Man
and Zog.

Who's that singing on the savannah?

The wildebeest, warthog, vulture, hyena and marabou stork swagger
proudly across the savannah, rejoicing in their ugliness - and
delighting their babies, who think they're perfect just the way
they are.

Inspired by the real-life Ugly Five safari animals, this gorgeous
picture book is a celebration of animals who are often rather
unloved.
