About This Book
This humorous chapter book follows Unicorn, a magical creature accustomed to being the star, as he navigates the social dynamics of the first day of school. When his usual impressive tricks are overshadowed by a popular new toy, Unicorn feels overlooked and tries increasingly desperate, and often annoying, ways to reclaim attention. With the help of his steadfast friend Goat, Unicorn learns valuable lessons about self-worth, the true nature of friendship, and that being special doesn't always mean being the most flashy. It's a delightful story for children aged 4-11 about fitting in, dealing with jealousy, and finding confidence.
You remember Unicorn. You know, Goat's friend? The one who can fly, make it rain cupcakes, and turn things into gold? On the first day of school, Unicorn expects to make his usual big splash. But no one pays him much attention--the other kids are much more interested in the latest trend in toys: rubber bands that look like other things. Unicorn comes up with a plan to get his mojo back, but his efforts turn out to be more annoying than impressive. Can Goat help him recover his magic, or is Unicorn destined to a life of mediocrity?
