But who celebrates the “Ugly Five”? In this lively rhyming tale by Julia Donaldson with vibrant illustrations by Axel Scheffler, we meet five glorious oddballs: the warthog, the spotted hyena, the wildebeest, the marabou-stork and the lappet-faced-vulture. Scholastic +1 These creatures stride across the plains, proud of their bristles, lumps and unusual shapes. They sing their song of difference and discover that though they aren’t the “hand-picked favourite” safari stars, they are loved — especially by their babies. Kids will delight in the clever rhymes, the playful repetition, and the detailed pictures that reward a careful look. This story isn’t just about animals with odd looks — it’s about celebrating uniqueness, finding value in what others might overlook, and sharing a smile over something unexpected. Ideal for read-alouds, group storytime, classroom fun or family cuddles on the couch. ✨ What readers and families will love: Catchy rhyming text by a beloved children’s author Axel Scheffler’s signature illustrations full of character, humour and detail A gentle message about self-acceptance, difference and belonging Vibrant African­-savannah setting, with animals children don’t often hear about Repetition and rhythm that invite children to join in and anticipate Fun for preschoolers, early readers and family shared reading 📚 Perfect for: Bedtime or storytime read-alouds Preschool / kindergarten classrooms exploring animals, rhymes or self-esteem Families who enjoy picture books with humour, heart and inclusive messages Young children learning to love reading, repetition, and participating Anyone looking for a playful, visually rich book that celebrates “different” in a positive way So snuggle up, open the book wide, and let the “Ugly Five” show you just how wonderful being unique can be.
