Unicorns are basically just overgrown, magical, flying cats. They shed and scratch and chew and burp. Also, they attract other unicorns so they don‘t get lonely. That‘s pretty much how I ended up with five cats, so same same. Fun and colorful and totally didn‘t convince me that I shouldn‘t get a unicorn.

KPC This looks like a fun book! As adults, we can probably relate to it! Sometimes we wish to have something so bad without thinking about the consequences. Cool pic! 5y
Kayladvazquez I think this would be a good book for children. It will teach them to be careful what they wish for and that the grass is not always greener on the other side. The illustrations look good. I would love to use this as a read aloud. 5y

It was light and funny, and I think my favorite part was that the child who wished for the unicorn appeared to be a boy
