About This Book
Bob Shea's 'Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great' is a charming and humorous picture book that tackles the common childhood emotion of jealousy. Goat initially resents Unicorn's seemingly perfect life, complete with glitter, rainbows, and magical powers. Through a series of observations, Goat slowly realizes that Unicorn's life isn't always easy and that his own goat-like qualities are pretty great too. This story beautifully illustrates the journey from envy to admiration and ultimately to a heartwarming friendship, making it perfect for children aged 4-8 who might be navigating similar feelings of comparison or struggling to accept differences in others.
Envy turns to admiration and finally to friendship for Goat and Unicorn.
