There once was an ugly ducklingàbut the Author of this book looked under rocks and behind trees and found much uglier creatures than that.
The Ugly Book is a celebration of all things repulsive in the animal kingdom from strange-looking bugs to but-ugly beasts.
Hours of painstaking research have gone into assembling some of Mother NatureÆs least photogenic creatures. Their research has carried them to the depths of the ocean and to the arid plains of Africa in search of out-and-out eyesores.
And theyÆve found them û if this book was a zoo no one would visit!
Of course they couldnÆt fill the book with wall-to-wall hideousness. Mixed in with the worldÆs freakiest fauna are more common animals caught on a bad day in bad light or displaying a bad attitude.
