The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - what did your child think?

[SorchaMumsnet]

Introducing the new picture book by The Gruffalo creators, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The Ugly Five is perfect for readers aged 3+. Find out more about the brains behind this book and so many others.

On safari, Julia Donaldson was introduced to the admired 'Big Five': Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo. However, she was more intrigued by the 'Ugly Five' and made them the stars of her new story – brought to life by Axel Scheffler's pictures.

The Ugly Five is a brilliant book for kids. My five year old niece loves it. The pictures are eye-catching and really colourful,the writing is cleverly done,my niece finishes some of the sentences already!I I love the bit at the end about different,animals. Not only is it a great story book but also a fabulous learning tool to. But I have to say, even though all JD books are brilliant the Gruffalo will always hold quite special place in my heart!

Thanks for all your feedback on The Ugly Five - great to hear that the story and illustrations proved a hit!
