Do you feel odious? Trying to cover up your repulsive body with a long, worn-out coat? Afraid to leave your burrow before dusk? Do not despair! As the wise hyena says, it does not matter what you look like, it matters what you can do. Perhaps you can pluck a merry melody on the strings of your ukulele or bake mouth-watering pancakes, either of which will make you the star at many a party. Our five ugly friends have already become such stars, and the party they organized was a big hit with their neighbours from all over the forest – all the animals you already know from the previous two successful books by Wolf Erlbruch.

The artist´s unmistakeable style and a creative translation by Beata Rödlingová bring you once again a work of high esthetic quality, good fun and spiritual enlightement.

Original title "Die fürchterlichen Fünf" published in 1990 by Peter Hammer Verlag.
