The Ugly Five

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 brand-new picture book is a jubilant celebration of animals who are often rather unloved. The funny, heartwarming rhyme is a joy to read aloud, while bold, comical illustrations bring the savannah spectacularly to life.
