Publisher's Synopsis
From the bestselling author and illustrator duo of The 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.
- 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.
- New for September 2022 - look out for The Baddies, the wickedly funny new picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
