Back Cover: Open this book and behold a menagerie of lovably funny-looking animals, each portrait complemented with an appropriately humorous quip. It's a cheerful, always good-natured look at several of the more cosmetically challenged members of the animal kingdom. If you're shopping for a gift book, or simply looking for a short photo essay to lighten your own mood, you'll find that this is a book with a difference: No sentimentality here! Instead of adorable kittens or winsome pooches, The Ugly Book presents portraits of a warthog, a seriously unkempt boar, the derriere of a rhino, and several lovably funny-looking canines that will never win prizes at the Westminster Dog Show. If some of the animals' nearly human expressions strike you as familiar-perhaps surprisingly similar to faces of people you know-you'll also enjoy the brief descriptive captions that accompany them. Animals, especially the funny ones, often have a telling way of reflecting the human condition. Here's a book to prove it. Back Flap: Andrew Davies has been seeing humor in animals since childhood. He grew up in England with his nose glued to the television screen whenever a favorite BBC animal show came on the air. His favorite character in the show was a zookeeper who also became voice-over for some of the zoo's more amusing animals, including an elephant named Wendy and Dottie, a ring-tailed lemur.
