From the Publisher:

THUD! THUD! THUD! It must be big! The ground is shaking... It must be huge! The earth is quaking...Who will be brave enough to chase it away? Basil the Bushbaby, Spike the Porcupine, Humphrey the Crocodile, and all the other animals in the jungle are in a tizzy about the mysterious creature they call the Ugly Beast. But when they finally meet up with the creature, they discover that it’s nice, polite, and very unbeastlike—in fact, it’s somebody’s mother! Packed with bold illustrations that fill each spread with color, Thud! will have children glued to the page—all the way through to the heartwarming conclusion.
