Book Description
Mother Nature's more aesthetically challenged children have been neglected for too long. The plight of the panda is known the world over because of its teddy-like good looks, but most species are not so lucky.

Book Description
The New York Times started a new phenomenon: ugly is the new black. After publishing an article entitled "A Masterpiece of Nature? Yuck!" that chronicled several of the world's ugliest animals (sphynx cat, star-nosed mole, proboscis monkey, etc.), they were bombarded by loyal readers who sent in their own pictures of ugly animals. Each one trying to out-ugly the last. Little did they know that we were way ahead of them! With 101 Animal Secrets and 101 Freaky Animals, the Bergers have already brought to light some of the ugliest animals on the planet. Now they have concentrated their efforts to compile the definitive list of the ugliest animals ever!

Book Description
It's Pinkalicious meets Fear Factor in this nonfiction picture book introducing the weirdest, wildest, pinkest critters in the animal kingdom! Some people think pink is a pretty color. A fluffy, sparkly, princess-y color. But it's so much more. Sure, pink is the color of princesses and bubblegum, but it's also the color of monster slugs and poisonous insects. Not to mention ultra-intelligent dolphins, naked mole rats and bizarre, bloated blobfish. Isn't it about time to rethink pink? Slip on your rose-colored glasses and take a walk on the wild side with zoologist Jess Keating, whose other books in the World of Weird Animals series include What Makes a Monster? and Cute as an Axolotl. A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016 "The 2016 Ambassador to Young People’s Science and Nature books is unquestionably the blobfish." —Shelftalker "Readers will never look at pink the same way." —Publishers Weekly
