Fearsome Five
by ErlbruchWolf (9781877467233)

Annotation
The story of five social outcasts who win back their street cred by hanging out together at the beach.

Publisher Description
The Fearsome Five is the story of five misfits who discover the old truth that what you look like doesn't matter as much as what you do, and that being happy is a matter of attitude. Toad, Bat, Spider, Rat complain about their looks until Hyena persuades them to have a great party with offbeat music and a pile of pancakes. Translated by Catherine Chidgey, the story is simple and elegant, with great richness in the illustrations.Written and illustrated by Wolf Erlbruch (also published by Gecko Press: Duck, Death and the Tulip). The book contains much of Erlbruch's personal mythology: the ever-present moon that illuminates his dusky drawings, his love of offbeat music, his attention to typography, and the careful design of the end-papers.
