The ugly five - Julia Donaldson

From the bestselling author and illustrator duo ofThe
Gruffalo! Now available in an early reader format.

Who's that singing on the savannah?

It's the top-five ugly animals
in Africa!

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, Julia Donaldson
and Axel Scheffler's gorgeous picture book is a jubilant celebration
of animals who are often rather unloved.

The funny, heart-warming rhyme is a joy to read aloud, while bold,
comical illustrations bring the savannah spectacularly to life.
