From Jennifer McCartney, the author of the Little Book of Animal Philosophy series, this new book departs from single animal cuteness to, well, wholesale non-cuteness writ large. Ugly-Cute is a compilation of misunderstood, underappreciated species including well-known lovable uggos like sun bears and pugs, as well as obscure weirdos like the star-nosed mole and the aye-aye. Each chapter will be dedicated to a different ugly-cute animal and the ways in which we can learn from them. It’s time to shun our image-obsessed society and discover the beauty in everything! These misunderstood creatures have been denied the love and appreciation showered on some of their more adorable counterparts and yes, we’re looking at you, koala bears and pandas. This will be a gorgeous full color book, perfect for impulse purchasing or gifting.
