About This Book
This uproarious picture book by Ame Dyckman and Liz Climo explores the hilarious chaos that ensues when a boy's wish for a pet unicorn is granted. Readers will follow the boy as he discovers that unicorns are not the gentle, sparkly creatures of his dreams, but rather unruly, messy, and ceiling-poking pets. It's a fantastic read-aloud for ages 4-8, perfect for sparking conversations about wishes, responsibility, and the difference between fantasy and reality, all wrapped in a wonderfully funny package.
