Donaldson, Julia The Ugly Five, illustrated by Axel
Scheffler. PICTURE BOOK. Scholastic Press, 2018. $18.
9781338249538.
Wildebeest, hyena, vulture, warthog, and marabou stork –
meet the five ugliest animals on the African plains. The five exult in how ugly they are,
embracing their terrible habits and smells.
But each of them has others who love them very much.
Donaldson crafts poetry that is fun to read, changing things
up to introduce each animal and then welcome into the growing group. I need to find someone to read this out loud
with. I can see reading this with a data
projector so that the kids can sing along with me.
