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.
From the ceators of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and ZOG,
which have all been made into animated films
shown on BBC1
This Early Reader edition contains the complete classic story
and pictures, in a pocket-book format, and with an extra-clear font
and layout, to support children who are gaining confidence in
reading.
