The lighthearted story of a child, a unicorn, and finding home, with amusing lift-the-flap leaflets to unfold—and a touching final surprise.
On a day full of rainbows, one little girl is playing in her tree house when there comes a knock on the door. It’s a unicorn! She loves unicorns! Thinking this one must be lost, she has the wonderful idea to bring the unicorn to live at a pet shop, where there are so many types of animals and homes. But when the unicorn doesn’t fit anywhere, she wonders if a farm would be more suitable. Or a maybe a carnival. Nothing seems to work—is there any place this unicorn would belong? With charming illustrations in candy-like colors and fun hands-on elements, this latest book in an internationally popular novelty series is sure to delight believers everywhere.
Redolent with pink, this first-person point-of-view evolution of a proprietary relationship into a bonded friendship delivers on its promised “magical surprises” and should delight fans of fantastical adventure stories and unexpected pet dramas. A sweet friendship tale, rosy in every sense. —Kirkus Reviews
Children will delight in the letters, each one adding a tactical touch to a quick and fun story. An amusing tale of a unicorn’s hunt for home, with letters standing in for basic lift-the flap story methods. —School Library Journal
