Unicorn is a unicorn. And Horse is, well . . . not.
Unicorn dances (Tra la la!). He eats pink cupcakes for breakfast, prances on rainbows, and radiates magical charm everywhere he goes. Horse does not (Blah blah blah). Horse is brown, plain, and deeply unimpressed with the sparkling superstar sharing his pen.
In fact, Horse can't stand him.
But when sneaky robbers kidnap Unicorn for a traveling circus, Horse faces a big decision: enjoy the peace and quiet, or step up to rescue the most annoying creature he knows?
Packed with deadpan wit and 48 pages of expressive, vibrant illustrations,Unicorn (and Horse)delivers a laugh-out-loud story about envy, friendship, and self-acceptance. Its a funny yet endearing picture book with one important truth: We are sometimes unicorns, we are sometimes horses, and happiness doesn't always come from pink cupcakes for breakfast.
