The Ugly Five (Gift Edition BB)

The funny and joyful picture book from the number one

bestselling author and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Stick Man

and Zog.

'Morning had dawned on the African plain.

The lion lay grooming his glorious mane.

The kudu looked cool and the rhino looked fine.

The bright pink flamingos looked simply divine.

The zebra looked graceful; the leopard look great.

Oh what a picture of beauty - but wait!'

Who's that singing on the savannah?

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, this gorgeous

picture book is a celebration of animals who are often rather

unloved.

Sturdy board pages with softly rounded corners are perfect for

little ones
