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 waythey
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.
