About This Book:
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.

What to do with a spare unicorn?
The illustrations are rather ethereal and impressionistic, which is perfect for a unicorn tale. There’s a lot of pink, but also a fair amount of green, which makes a nice contrast. Unicorn, though silent, is shown as being very game to try out different environments, even if they are rejected in the end.
There’s no shortage of unicorn books for young readers, but since they are so appealing, there is always room for one more. Add this to picture books like Rose and Budgen’s When You Adopt a Pugicorn or Hale and Pham’s Kittycorn series, or use to prepare for early chapter books like Punset and Vicedo’s Unicornia: Learning to Fly, June’s Mermicorn Island series, Elliot’s Unicorn Diaries, or Moore’s middle grade “nonfiction” Stuff Unicorns Love.
