The Ugly Five


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Ugly Five.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

It’s a delightful rhyming children’s picture book about the ugliest wild animals that live on the African plain.

One day when the lion, kudo, rhino, zebra, flamingos, and tiger were enjoying the morning dawn they meet an unusual creature that looked ugly to them. It was a wildebeest.

But the wildebeest wasn’t fazed by their comments and continued walking along singing a song.

Eventually she meets other wild animals that believed that they too were ugly; a hyena, vulture, warthog and stork, and so they started a crew, called the ugly five.

It’s a great book with a beautiful ending.

Remember, no matter the appearance, all creatures are beautiful.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages friendship and love.

So, why not read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?
