The Ugly Five Early Reader

From the bestselling author and illustrator duo of The Gruffalo!

Who''s that singing on the savannah?

It''s the top-five uglyanimals 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.

• From the ceators of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and ZOG, which have all been made into animated films shown on BBC1
