The Ugly Five-Axel Scheffler, Julia Donaldson

We are five very ugly people,
the ugliest you've ever seen!
We are five very ugly people,
Who can compare with our ugliness?

Meet the warthog, the marabou, the wildebeest, the vulture called Torko, and the spotted hyena. Everyone calls them ugly, but maybe they're not so ugly after all?

Inspired by the "ugly five," as these not-so-well-known African animals are called, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's brand new book is a wonderful tale for those who don't love themselves enough because of their appearance.

The funny, enthusiastic rhyme of the text is ideal for reading aloud, while the illustrations bring the impressive savannah to life before the eyes of every reader.

The following books by both authors are still being published by Ikaros: Zog , The wedding of the two scarecrows , and Xylarakis , while Axel Scheffler publishes the successful series of books Tick ​​and Tella .

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler are the Lennon and McCartney of children's literature.
