Blob: The Ugliest Animal in the World

(4) K-3 Translated by Sarah Klinger. Illustrated by Olivier Tallec. Every year, Blob the Fish, who resembles a pink pinto bean, participates in the prestigious Ugliest Animal in the World competition. He finally wins, lets fame go to his head, and is bereft when his reign is over. Kids may not understand this French import's wicked parody of lookism, but they'll get a kick out of the art showing Blob living the high life before his fall.
