Ugly Five

(2018) From the bestselling author and illustrator duo of The

Gruffalo!

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

Zog and the Flying Doctors animation will screen

on BBC1 in December 2020.
