Reception: The Ugly Five
by Julia Donaldson
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.
“This book is my favourite. It shows your parents love you no matter what.” – Mishika
“Even though the animals are ugly their parents always love them.” – Iris
