What is The Ugly Five (Gift Edition BB) about?

On the African savannah, the lion, zebra and flamingos are admired for their beauty. But what about the wildebeest, warthog, vulture, hyena and marabou stork? Known as the Ugly Five, they march proudly across the grasslands, singing about their bumps, bristles and unusual features. Their babies know the truth: these animals are wonderful just as they are. A lively rhyming celebration of family, friendship and self-acceptance, filled with fascinating animals and joyful illustrations.
