The Ugly Five, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's
bestselling picture book, is now available accompanied by
an audio CD, featuring the story performed by
award-winning actress, Imelda Staunton.

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 brand-new
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.





Children can listen to the full story with music, play
The Ugly Five Listening Game and sing along to
the brand new song, which was written by Julia Donaldson
especially for this CD.
